Hi Tony,
I suggest you take an AM or SSB VHF (or UHF) receiver and a directional
antenna to your neighborhood. You can pin point it much better with
that equipment than you can with your mobile.
I usually don't start worrying about what to do if they aren't helpful
until they actually aren't. Be friendly. Perhaps it is bothering them
as well. Sometimes you can offer to purchase them a replacement device
that doesn't make the QRN.
Good luck! 73,
Rob, KL7NA
