If you don't secure a wireless connection that spills onto other people's property, why shouldn't they use it until told otherwise? You could argue that you're not really encroaching, but I guarantee you that's not true. There's another network near us that was too weak to always show in the list of nearby nets, but was just strong enough to cause intermittent signal pollution until one day I happened to move the router to get at something else, and noticed it next time I connected.

Well! i f you ask me, it depends on ones choice! It depends on what kind of a person who he is. Almost all internet users are aware of the potential threats of security issues. So it is not a big deal if someone has a secured connection in his wireless network. However one thing we fail to realize is how much efficient they are and if not the consequences of it. So letting neighbors use our internet isn't always fun and can even compromise our systems!
