Funny enough, this is not uncommon. At our old house, we used to pick up radio stations and an occasional telephone conversation with our baby monitor, including a memorable phone sex call between one of our neighbors and her boyfriend.



BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A woman in Germany was surprised when the intercom system she was using to monitor her sleeping baby picked up a radio conversation in which a luckless would-be thief described his bungled robbery of a nearby bar.

"Instead of hearing her baby's wails, the mother got the 46-year-old's confession. She then informed police," authorities in the western city of Bochum said in a statement.

The man had been talking about the attempted robbery to friends over a CB radio set, when the transmission was intercepted up by the baby's intercom system.

Police arrested the man, who confessed to the abortive raid.

My brother in law used to always listen to his neighbors telephone conversations as well. Sometimes he would also o for a drive and take the baby monitor with him, hoping to catch some random conversations. He's a rather odd fellow...

Why does she have to be hot if all you're going to do is listen?

LA Times had an article about this today. Evidently there have also been problems with baby monitors interfering with plane flights. Plane comes in on approach, and the control tower gets washed out by a screaming child.

Lovely.
