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

I wouldn't go about calling it theft. If you are throwing candy atpeople, chances are some are going to eat it, right? Your AP shouldhave options to disallow the broadcasting of the AP's SSID, you candisable this to 'heighten some security'. Given yes there are obviousways around this some leachers could used to tap into your connection,but it should help your 'theft' problem.
