Now, mind you, I have deliberately used my parents' neighbors' wireless network a week at a time for the last 2 Christmases, but that's because they rebuilt their house and hung an addition 2 feet over the property line so that it's touching my parents' driveway.
If it weren't violating housing code, I probably wouldn't be able to sponge bandwidth off of them, because there's no way a transmitter from another frickin' HOUSE should be reaching into my parents' spare bedroom.
However, I do not normally mean to steal, and it seems like every time I open my laptop, it grabs the strongest network in my apartment complex -- which, apparently, isn't mine.
