Your subscriber defaults in payment.  What do you do about the equipment?
Should you pick it up?  Sell it to the subscriber?  What are your options?
     Surprisingly this issue keeps coming up and there is one very simple answer: What does your contract permit you to do under the circumstances?
     Older contracts that I offered to the trade provided for the option to sell the equipment only if the subscriber refused to permit the removal of the equipment.  Recognizing that alarm companies really don't want to pick up old installed equipment (most of the time) the standard contracts I offer have
provided for years that the alarm company has the option of removing the equipment or selling it to the subscriber for the "agreed" value [which is set forth in the contract when the contract is first filled out and signed].  With this provision the alarm company almost always elects to sell the equipment, and that amount is added to the lawsuit on the breach of the contract.
