Personally, I agree with you.  But you're a Brinks dealer.  Does Brinks
still use proprietary equipment that no other company can reprogram?  That
could be an even more efficient anti-takeover technique than long-term
contracts.

The last I recall, Ken Kirschenbaum was pushing five year monitoring
contracts with five year automatic renewal periods.  I find that a wee bit
excessive.
