Let M be any bounded set in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Then almost all n-dimensional lattices L with determinant 1 have the following property: There exists a diagonal transformation D with determinant 1 (depending on L) such that L does not cover space with DM. Moreover, if M has non-empty interior, the exceptional (null-) set contains at least enumerably many diagonally non-equivalent lattices.
