Yes, actually. You will be liable because it was your car...
That's FUD.
If someone steals my car and I'm aware of the theft, and I report it promptly, and the thief runs over people,
I am not to blame.
In the Wi-Fi stealing deal, it's not easy to detect when someone's stealing your signal. Thus it's not easy to prove that I did or did not know someone else used my signal. Unless you can prove that I knowingly and willfully left it unlocked for that purpose - which also isn't easy to prove. But I bet I can find quite a few specialists who will substantiate how easy it is to crack Wi-Fi security in any case.
I think one would notice when their connection starts crawling because they've become a seeder for other downloads. That's asking too much sense from people though...
