Re: ADT yard signs

You're the one infringing on a trademark not me, I have no reason to call
ADT.

According to your logic it would be ok to put a Rolls Royce insigna on a
Volkswagon...sure you may never get sued but it's still not kosher. Also,
anyone selling someone else's trademark is infringing.
