Having fun with wifi neighbors

I’ve been running parallel wifi signals at home for a while, just to monitor who is actually in the airspace and trying to get on my networks, but this clever beaver has gone a few steps further and created a whole new way of seeing the world for people who try and connect to his signal:

My neighbours are stealing my wireless internet access. I could encrypt it or alternately I could have fun.

Very cute and harmless although, since it’s based on MAC, it’s not hard for the neighbors to bypass the access controls with only a slight modification.

I suppose a “don’t tread on me” message might be a little more effective since it would give a clear(er) message to people. I can just imagine the neighbors knocking on the door and saying “dude, did you know your wireless is all messed up?”
