Buy a cordless telephone that operates on the channel their baby monitor uses.
Use it a few times so they are sure to hear you. When they mention they are
hearing your telephone, tell them they can pay a large fine for listening to
your calls and suggest they find a monitor that can't pick up cordless
telephones.
Or buy all the neighborhood kids walky-talky's on their channel.
Seriously, they don't have any protection -- legal or electronic -- from
interference. When others begin showing up on their baby monitor they may
realize that.
