I was working today and noticed my broadband was slower then usual most of the day.  I went outside to take the dog out to handle her business and stumbled upon this...

Whoever owns this van has been "e-dwelling" on my premises, taking my bandwidth, and I guess was here overnight. I am not sure who this is as I have attempted to knock on the van and all I hear is occasional deep laughing, occasional snoring and the slurping of coffee.

This new type of crime has to stop. Do you all have any suggestions? I am thinking about having him towed! Stay tuned...

For those with higher broadband, I have created a YouTube video here:

love the ending of the vid
vandweller on vandweller crime?
get a little more forceful and tell them to leave or you are calling the cops
 
I assume this is tongue-in-cheek?

The simple use of a password makes this a complete non-issue, unless you are stuck in ATT's new world vision of xfinity wifi, where they allow anyone to hop on your router. The supposed ability of a customer to choose to participate is highly questionable...I got a different router to avoid this altogether.
 
How about writing out on a full sheet of paper something like: "I own this parking lot and you are trespassing. You have an hour to leave before I call the tow truck."

Stick that wording facing inside on his windshield. That way you have given him more than fair warning.

I would also recommend that you put registration marks on your trademarked words if you are being serious about that and not joking. If you've gone to all the expense of a trademark, you need to protect it and that is required. I don't think you can say what any fine would be as that would be up the the court in a lawsuit.
 
Your playing with dynamite by not having a password on your router, If the thief that is using your wifi is down loading child pornography you will be in deep doodoo,
 
I would cut the wifi cord and then I would have him towed.
Laughing, snoring and slurping of coffee by anyone other than you should not be allowed in that parking lot. Period.
 
The new xfinity routers with the "free" access actually have 2 separate routers inside , one for them and one for you . At least that's what they said!!! Plus the free access is only for other xfinity customers.
 
I have had my broadband slow down once exfinity fired up the guest spots. I have had people sitting out front of my house using it, sometimes it creeps me out and I shut it down. Then again there are times that my side of the wireless is so bad that I connect to the guest side and it does better.

If you have exfinity the only thing you can do is shut down. They say you can turn it off but go ahead and try. Otherwise you need to protect your router with a password.

Maybe you should drop a card with this website on it in his window.
 
Hey, I had nothing to do with this. I'm not going to point any fingers and say 4G did it, I'm not that type of guy...[emoji23]
 
Yes, this is tongue and cheek everyone.

It was great to meet Luis. He is a great guy and have enjoyed spending some time with him while he travels the country. One of the new things I am enjoying with this transition to my new lifestyle is meeting up with fellow members of the cheap rv living / van-dwelling / RV community. I look forward to meeting some more of you once I hit the road and/or if you happen to travel through Southern Oregon this spring. Live Simple & Enjoy Life!
 
for the record is it Luis (espanol) or Louis
 
dang 4g you had me going. say hey to luis for me. or maybe he read this before you. highdesertranger

I read this before he did. He's too slow, but don't tell him I said that. [emoji1303][emoji1303]
