Re: WIRELESS THEFT

["Robert J. Young" <rjyoung () frankie ca>]

It's a theft of service.  The wireless part is not relevant.  This is 
the same as if you hooked a telephone up to a phone line in your 
neighbour's house without his permission.  The fact that they have 
poorly secured their services doesn't make this less illegal.  Maybe you 
should tell them about their problem, though.
