Just went thru this myself. Could not recognize a device with an address connected to my router, the MAC address wasn't in my list (I'm another who keeps a list), panic panic panic. Turned out it was the Raspberry Pi I got my son for his birthday and which I don't use or even have an account on. The penny only dropped when I went to an online MAC-address producer identifier site. Amidst the general clutter a tiny thing like a Pi is easy to miss on a quick visual scan, even though it's actually got its own ethernet cable.
