That is crazy! Never heard of some thing like that happening to some one. I would make sure you have a extremely strong key like from here.

»https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

They could try all day and night. It would be near impossible. Just make sure the key is 63 random printable ASCII characters. Basically pick the middle is what I am saying. Also keep that pc clean!
In addition to this, make sure you also don't fall for the FAKE access point trick. It's like phishing.. but for wireless keys.

What they do is set up an AP with an SSID similar to your own so that if you try to connect to your AP, you might accidently end up entering your WPA2 key into their AP instead.

So.. how to avoid this? Just be sure to look out for any times where you seem to get "kicked" off your wireless. You shouldn't have to ever re-enter your key.. but if it asks you for it, then you know something is up.
