If they don't have their networks secured, it is rather easy to do so, but it is illegal in a lot of places, and you don't have any control over the network if a problem arises.
Additionally, there is a security risk involved. If one of your neighbors intercepted packets you send to the router that contain credit card numbers, etc, you could be in trouble.
