Sounds like someone needs to do an audit. Kismet (on Linux) and Netstumbler (Windows), preferably with a GPS, can do it. without GPS you can see what's around, with GPS you can know which door to knock on. From my reading, it's not unknown for individuals or workgroups to acquire their own APs, and it's also perfectly possible for any PC to be configured as an AP.
At school where I work, all the APs have distinct names but the same WEP key (we've not yet implemented "good" security), so (on SUSE) I set the AP name to 'any' and let the card sort it out.
