Breaking the Law

Yesterday we had two unexpected visitors. They were from one of the main cell phone companies here in Slovenia (Mobitel) and were loaded up with some crazy handheld antena's. They told us that something has been scrambling their cell phone signals in the area, and that they had tracked it to something coming from our house.

Apparently our baby monitors that we brought from the states use a frequency that messes up the cell towers here in Europe. If we didn't live up on a hill they said it wouldn't be a problem, but as it is the signal travels a long ways. They asked us nicely not to use the monitors any more since they are (apparently) illegal here. Then they said that if we continue to use them they said they will send someone who for force us to stop using them.
