Theft is illegal. Of course they are going to prosecute (if they catch) someone that breaks into your car... locked or unlocked.

But I don't think using an unsecured wifi network is a crime.
But it IS a crime whether you think so or not. Some people think smoking pot shouldn't be a crime. It is. If a law is on the books then it's a crime whether you agree it should be or not. If you don't think it should be a crime then you need to petition you state government to change the law.

So if I think stealing a rich persons wallet shoudn't be a crime, since they have so much money, then I guess it's ok to do since if I think it's not a crime it's not a crime.

Where is it a crime? Under what law?

Um that's kind of the way things work. At one time a man could leglaly rape his wife. It wasn't a crime. Now he can't, because it is NOW a crime.

Oh, I think I get it now!!
What you're trying to say is, Stealing WiFi is the same as stealing someone's car, and then raping their wife, right??

You get extra points for calling people names, idiot.

jeez. hopping on an OPEN network should NOT be a crime. I'm sure each and everyone of us here on the forums has done it at least once in their life.

What, you want YOUR taxes wasted on some poor schmoe going to jail because they used their neighbor's open network a couple of times to read their email during an internet outage?
