You should contact the police with your theory. I bet they never thought of that.


You assume that the police came to any sort of conclusion based on their investigation, all they did was clear that couple of any wrong doing. They'd never get warrants for the neighbours or literally anybody who stayed at their home during that time as you need to provide evidence to get a warrant to search. All they had to go on was their IP address. They probably just shrugged their shoulders and made a guess at what could have happened because they have nothing else to go on. Knowing anything about how this stuff works it sounds more unbelievable than much more simple theories.

Is it possible to hijack WiFi by "hacking" a password? Yes it is but it's a bit of a process unless you are able to consistently use it so it'd make more sense of somebody was able to be nearby. You can use your hub settings to see all devices currently connected so I guess if you see something you don't recognise then disconnect it from the hub and change your password again, don't use default ones. The suggestion of "brute forcing" WiFi passwords is quite amusing in itself as it's such an old way of doing things like this that are not used anymore. Social engineering is far more common, pretending to be your ISP or other official company calling and getting you to fork over all your details without even thinking about it. Anyone can do this with enough time to create a fake but official looking email and access an email box. You can even download lists of random email addresses quite easily to put in and let the emails do their work. You wouldn't need to buy a program that is able to brute force passwords and then spend time on every available WiFi connection hoping it can get a password for one.
