I'm not sure about the legality.  But I would suggest you contact them
so and suggest they implement some sort of authentication and encryption
to keep unauthorized people off their network.

Hi
        Can someone tell me if there are any laws regarding wireless
theft?

        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.
