I have my wireless locked down enough to where it's hard to get in, hard enough to where a "driver" will most likely just connect to one of the 4 others within range of me that are wide open.
Hard to get in is still not impossible. But, you're right - Hundreds, if not thousands of your nearby neighbors probably have completely insecure APs, so unless someone is trying to prove a point, you'll be left alone. Most predators will choose the easiest prey.
