Re: LOCKED PANEL

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not real theft.

In all cases though the stickers were put on my panels without the homeowner
selling the house's knowledge or consent. I know because in all cases I also
did the seller's new home and they knew nothing about it (loyal clients that
have been with us for years and years).

You know realtors...anything for a buck.

| How is it theft ?, unless Crash is leasing systems to residential
customers.
| Once its installed and paid for on a purchase agreement, the original
| customer or
| future homeowners should be able to choose whatever company they want to
| monitor the system. Isn't that your philosophy?
|
| I'm sorry, I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers but I see a double
standard

| murder whenever a customer hasn't read their contract and is locked in by
| the Borg or a new homeowner wants to use a system owned by ADT, and here
we
| have customers exercising their right to choose or recomend an alarm
company
| and
| you accuse the Borg of theft.
|
| Write to the BBB and tell them what? That the customer or their agent put
a
| sticker on their own property recommending a different alarm company for
| service?
|
| You can't have it both ways.
