How did they get the passcode? (I'm assuming that the network was/is passcoded)
If it was completely unsecured then it could possibly be an innocent automatic connection from one of the neighbours....possibly.
If they were at least using WEP though then there`s someone a little more determined living close by.Not that they`d have to be tooo determined to get past WEP mind you as it`s relatively trivial to get those "passcodes" if thats the case.
If there is someone nearby being a d**k & cracking encryption keys then hiding networks and blocking mac`s probably wont be much use either.The only decent solution is Rob M`s WPA advise with a very strong password.Using words from dictionaries or names is a big no no.
