Can confirm. My router log showed that a neighbor’s iot device was repeatedly trying to connect to my WiFi every 10 seconds or so. It was by far the most dominant event in the log.

The only way to stop it was to block its MAC address.

It’s still up. I retract my comment. They’re just being asshats. My apologies for giving them the benefit of the doubt.

It’s possible that the installation just required drilling some holes for anchors or something, which is a pretty quick process that doesn’t need much clean up.

Removing probably means holes need to be filled and the surface needs to be refinished. That takes quite a bit more time.

Don’t get me wrong, I want the orange pedophile gone as much as anyone. There’s just a reasonable explanation for why it’s taking longer and they want to keep it from view.

Even more annoying is when the green car leaves 2+ car lengths in front of it so the car behind can’t get into the turn lane if they need to.

The book is a good read, too. ‘Ship of Gold’.
