1. Don't give me any ideas-after my gamer neighbors (somewhere) decided to hook up

their gaming consoles to play with others--connecting to MY BLUETOOTH at 1AM this morning. I woke up to VERY LOUD male & female voice that eventually included another male voice obviously not in the same household, overrunning my own soft music I'd fallen asleep to.

As my Bluetooth adaptor that lets me connect my IPad, laptop, and IPhone to my Bose system has at least a 300 foot range (and probably more), I don't know which neighbor it might be, but it was so disconcerting to be awakened with those loud voices, clearly hearing every damned thing they were saying--My dog was totally freaked out.

I had never heard of this happening, but a friend tells me it is not uncommon with those using gaming consoles to connect and using like cell phones. ARRRGH! And yes, I will Google to see if there is a "fix," but others reading this can feel free to offer your known solutions--appreciated.

As to the Bluetooth-grabbing neighbors, don't give me any ideas!
