I'd guess MAC address is more important that SSID.

(If this were me, I'd want to somehow covertly install that router at Google/Apple/Skyhook/the-local-police-station, I suspect that'd pretty quickly get someone to give-a-shit enough to solve the problem...)

To my knowledge this is not done by SSID but by MAC. You could spoof the router with a wifi pineapple. Put it in a church.
