I think the "I had a sniffer running by accident" claim is a little questionable too. I have had sniffers running while I walked around public placed but never by accident.

I would agree too that trying to find the guy isn't a good idea. Not only that but where do you stop. There certainly are more than just a single user doing that.

I would be very cautious on the approach.  If you get with an "un-tech" or a paranoid "technology handicapped" he/she will said you were hacking him and you will be having lots of comments and explanations.  This time I would let it pass...

I'm sure you as I have many time been in airport with public wlan access
and by error had some kind of sniffer running ?

well I has Cain open because of a general scan I was making related to a
test, and I picked up a Pop3 account and password,
I did try to find the guy to tell him but did not see anybody with a
laptop, so what now do I email him as asking him to update the password
or do I just ignore it and let he carry on doing this to him self and his
firm.

Regards
