I realise there are ways a power alarm could fail and not warn up if the freezer was just unplugged but what tends to happen is that the extension lead its plugged into gets pulled out and a suitably placed battery operated alarm unit could warn of that. Then there is the problem that very occasionally the whole circuit out to the sheds will trip off again a plug in alarm would give some warning.
