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.
