that's the prob with so many wireless networks around the country; a recent 
study showed 60% had no encryption (off by default). with a YAGI or directional 
antenna, you could borrow bandwidth from nearly 
anyone, and if the volume on the disk is shared, well, a lot more. 
"chalkwalking", i believe our neighbors across the pond call it, and IIRC it 
was ruled as theft a week or so back.
