Well, I would say that they are either your next door neighbours (in
which case they are easy to trace, and probably meant no harm anyway),
or they are the sort of hard core people who drive around with laptops
actively looking for insecure connections (in which case you have
virtually no hope of tracing them, regardless of their intentions -
and you would need far more evidence than just the MAC addresses I
think).

Just put it down to experience and move on.
