system after final walk-through. Upon
taking popssession, buyer was
astonished to find system had been

Re: legality of house seller's action
It depends on what your agreement was with respect to the house security system. It might have been mentioned in the sale agreement or not. If not, there may be an argument that it is a fixture and therefore something that should not have been removed. Further inquiry would be required before I could say for sure.
