Mine used to be: Tenant Cam 2
Got into a petty pissing match with a sexist POS neighbor who was running a really sketchy (and locally illegal) AirBNB - as a joke I had a couple ESPs broadcasting SSIDs like "[their_address] Bedroom Camera" and "[their_address] Bathroom Camera" that I stuck on the wall nearest their house.
... Turned out to be a huge mistake. They'd actually set up several perv cams inside the house, which was discovered during the incidental investigation into all the human trafficking they were doing, something I found out about when the police showed up and arrested me for suspicion of being involved. Thankfully I was able to convince them I'm just some complete idiot that likes to think they're funny, but jeeze.
Funny in the retelling, though.
Nah - the cops either were just doing "due diligence" to cover their asses in court, or were truly of "Keystone Kops" intelligence levels to believe someone who knows how to use ESPs would be that blatantly obvious when naming their devices' Wi-Fi.
Weirdly I'm not actually complaining about them doing due diligence in this case. Aside from all the shit he did to me (well mainly my partner) personally, the dude was selling bathroom footage of the children who stayed there, and there was a fair number of local accomplices in the whole human trafficking & child pornography thing. It took them about four hours to realize what was going on with me and we all had a genuinely good laugh about it, and that vile POS and several of his friends are rotting under the prison as a result of them being thorough.
Rare law enforcement win, though I stress that this is very much an exception to the norm around here.
I don't think that's weird at all. Glad they got the guy, and I hope your partner is doing okay.
