I agree, not saying I don't. I prefer a lawyer stick to facts and bluntness of speech & not try to blow smoke up everyones ass. At least that is what worked for me when I had to sue for loss of property.
If there was a breakdown in security then liability may apply there and depending on how cooperative the alarm company is they might accept the loss. But, that doesn't mean that there offer will be fair. That's where a lawyer could come in handy.
