               This Amendment No. 3 to the Statement on Schedule 13D
     dated July 11, 1996 filed by Republic Industries, Inc.
     ("Republic"), as heretofore amended (the "Statement"), is filed
     on behalf of Republic and Triangle Corporation, a wholly owned
     subsidiary of Republic ("Triangle").  Republic and Triangle are
     collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons". 
     Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings
     ascribed to them in the Statement.

     ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

               Item 5 is hereby amended to add the following:

               On May 7, 1997, Triangle sold the 15,000,000 Common
     Shares it acquired upon exercise of the Warrant (the "Warrant
     Shares") for aggregate net proceeds of $412.5 million in
     transactions effected through a broker on the New York Stock
     Exchange, as follows:

                     No. of               Price
                     Shares             Per Share
                     ------             ---------
                    5,000,000            $27.50
                    5,000,000             27.50
                    2,200,000             27.50
                    1,800,000             27.50
                      950,000             27.50
                       50,000             27.50


               As a result of these sales, neither of the Reporting
     Persons beneficially owns any Common Shares.  Under the terms of
     the Warrant, the proxy previously granted to the Chairman of ADT
     to vote the Warrant Shares was automatically revoked upon the
     sale of such shares.




                                 SIGNATURE

               After reasonable inquiry and to the best of their
     knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the
     information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and
     correct.
