In the first season, Rachel famously occupied the penthouse at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/60+Thompson/local/15">60 Thompson</a> hotel in the Soho neighborhood of New York City.

No one knows for sure why Wise would be so unwise and hack into this person's voicemail but a few reports speculate that it may have something to do with affairs of the Pomeranian...er....Pomerancian heart. <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/07/10/2009-07-10_exes_mark_spot_for_voicemale_taps.html">NY Daily News</a> reports that Wise is "cuckoo" over Pomeranc who she split from late last year but has been reportedly seeing on and off. Sources says she may have used the Spoofcard to hack into his voicemails and emails to find out if he was dating other women.
