I am certain there are laws, regardless of what country you are in,  that can be tweaked to catch this situation.
(possibly the 'radio-wave authorities', or whatever, have already covered them).

So assume that the wireless service is offered to (rent-paying) residents. Only.
In that case, you should consider using the service from your home as the equivalent of wardriving.
Or are we warsitting now? ;)

On the other hand, it _should_ be the responsibility of the service provider to make sure you are not disturbed by 
their antics...

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.
