Response from me would be - "I was alerted to the fact your network could be
accessed. It was an accident, and couldn't have happened if it had been made
a bit more secure. Although we're unlikely to ever access it again, it isn't
beyond the realms of possibility that someone else may find your network is
open, and either make use of the internet through it, or try 'breaking in'
to any computers you have on at the time. Just thought I'd better let you
know - oh, and here's a website [hand over post-it note with URL!] which
describes the need for security with Wi-Fi"...

I don't have a URL for such a site, nor do I have any wireless kit to even
know if someone around here is tempting fate, but it'd hopefully be taken
as constructive (and mild) 'criticism', or just a friendly word :-) PGM.
