I am not sure how this would make it any better/worse. Usually, when someone asks this kind of question, they already know the answer, but want confirmation from others for the action that they are going to take anyway. I really don't believe there is a difference between using the apartment across the street's wireless access or driving looking for access and then parking in front of someone's business and using it. Just because the door of a house is open does not mean that you are invited to come in and join the owners for dinner. Just because the "intrusion" is invisible does not mean that you are not intruding. A solution may be to contact the owner of the apartment building and tell them what is up and that for a mere $200 and hour you will use you _extensive_ security expertise to help them solve their problem and limit the accessibility by real bad people (ones that wouldn't even ask the question). Then you have $ for 'Net access and pizza. $.02 from a long time listener, 1st time caller. -----Original Message----- From: Amit P.

One of the apartment complexes near mine has free wireless connections offered to their residents. Now, my computer happens to catch that signal. Now, is that illegal. If so, how should I go about dealing with this issue.
