Unless you find a cop and a victim with really good IT skills, you're probably just going to get simple trespassing.
You aren't going to get any kind of "theft" or "trespassing" for a couple different reasons. First and foremost, unless you have a giant sign posted in a conspicuous place on the property that reads: "NO TRESPASSING." Secondly, most states don't have laws on the books making theft of a wifi signal a crime, and, lastly, do you really believe that you can pick up the phone, call local law enforcement and have them drop everything they're doing just to come running over to your house for the 90 seconds the stranger was allegedly "trespassing" on your lawn?
What're you gonna say?
There is a big, bad scary man on muh propty wid one o'dem cellular phones...he's scarin' me wid his phone and I's don't like 'im on muh propty! Ooooooh, scary! Urgent. That'll get the PD right straight to your house ASAP. Get real. Ain't gonna happen.
thank...
