If you steal someone else's access to Wifi, Internet Cable, regular cable TV, Satellite, telephone, electricity, water, or any other basic utility you are a criminal.

The logic is simple, someone is paying, and it isn't you!

You knew that someone was paying, and by stealing the resource for free you are defrauding at least one person, possibly hundreds.

If I leave my Porsche Convertible open topped on your street does this give you a right to take it? I think not! Leaving my WiFi less than 100% protected applies in the same manner, it was never yours to use!

Of course we should all take precautions against these people, but our lack of security doesn't give them a mandate to steal!
