The funniest thing that ever happened to me was when my ISP had its
own wireless network which wasn't encrypted. So I could get the
username/password/mac address, we were doing session hijack with this
so we could get a lot of free internet. The provider knew about this
but they couldn't stop us.

The best thing in this case is to know and not to tell because you
will save yourself a lot of unnecessary talking with the victim of
sniffing.
