That's an excellent question. I am unsure what you mean by "happens to catch that signal", do you mean that you pick up the other devices but you are not running a sniffer to trace the traffic??
I would say that as long as you are not actually sniffing traffic and gaining profit from the information gathered or using it illegally, ie harrassment. Then why would it be illegal. I am very interested to see more answers on this because it is a good one. Bottom line I don't really know, but would suspect not your fault you can pick up the signal (signal is not traffic!! as in not content). Your not parked in the parking lot or anything are you, or hanging of the roof with a pringles tin attached to your laptop to improve the signal????

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.
