Lets say you have been paying 49 bucks a month for high speed
Internet and always wondered why sometimes it was slower than other times.And then when the guy next door moved it was fast all the time cause he was using your unsecured connection eating up your bandwidth.At your expense would you like that?

depending on what hardware and OS system you have this can be very difficult or very easy. The easiest way to try is to download backtrack live cd and use the Airoscript tool on the cd. WEP cracking can be very quick if you ahve a wireless card that supports injection this can speed up the cracking process. Please be aware that this is actually illegal to do

Yes.
Shame on them for not putting in a password, but you still shouldn't, it's illegal if you do not have the owner's permission and you can be arrested for it if caught.

Yes, it is wrong. It slows down their connection and is an invasion of privacy.
So.. do it until they put a password on it.

It's just as wrong as stealing cable TV.

No it is perfectly fine because it was their fault that they did not put a encryption on it. So it is perfectly fine. You are such a smart person give yourself a clap. But please tell us what do you think?
