Take your laptop out for a walk and see if you can find them. A map with bar strength will help in tracking them down.
Naming their wireless some similar seem to be a running joke with some people around here.
I have a couple of wireless routers laying around and have been thinking of doing that, but have been too lazy to dig them out.

Only instead of FBI, I'd use something like 'NSA Patrol13' or 'NSA Van8', or even 'NSA Neighborhood Watch4'. No need to have them hooked to a computer after renaming them.
