How the arsonists evaded the alarm sensors


Question: Mr. Kim owned an automotive garage located in an industrial area. His garage specialized in vintage vehicle restorations. In April 2022, Mr. Kim realized that his garage's annual cyclone insurance was shortly due. Before the insurance could be renewed, the insurance company required an engineers' inspection of the garage. Mr. Kim usually relied on the property manager, Mr. Ram, to facilitate the required inspections. Mr. Ram kept Engineers PTY (a local engineering firm) on a yearly retainer to complete inspections and prepare reports for insurance purposes. However, on the inspection date, Mr. Ram's daughter fell ill and needed to be taken to the hospital. Mr. Ram instructed the engineers from Engineers PTY to pick up the keys from his home, inspect the garage and then return the keys to him once they finished. Mr. Ram gave the engineers the alarm code for the garage. The engineers did as they were instructed: around 5:00 PM that day, they collected the keys, made the inspection and returned the keys to Mr. Ram. Later that evening, Mr. Kim received several calls from friends advising him that his garage was on fire. Distraught, Mr. Kim arrived at the scene to see his life's work in flames. All of the vintage cars in the garage were also destroyed. This amounted to an estimated loss of about $3,000,000. Investigations concluded a week after the fire. The fire investigators found that the garage fire was due to arson. The arsonists had used an accelerant to engulf the garage in flames. The CCTV footage from an adjacent property revealed that the arsonists had entered the property while the engineers were conducting the inspection of the internal rood purlins for structural integrity. The engineers had left the door unlocked while they were conducting the inspection; this was the door that the arsonists used to enter the property. It was unclear how the arsonists evaded the alarm sensors after the engineers had left nor why they set the garage on fire. Mr. Kim has approached you for advice on possible actions that can be taken against Engineers PTY. You are required to tender the necessary advice.
