I've got a question (actually a few) along these lines.  Let's say that a person
has a Wi-Fi network setup at home.
And they find out that some of their neighbors have accessed it.

A)      What if any obligation to the neighbors does the person who initially setup
the Wi-Fi network have?
B)      What happens IF one neighbor goes in and reads/deletes msgs/files from
another neighbor's computer is the person who
initially setup the Wi-Fi network for their own use liable?
C)      Can the person who initially setup the Wi-Fi network legally go in and look
around his/her neighbors computers?
D)      What if one the neighbors get a virus, is the person who initially setup the
Wi-Fi network liable?
E)      What if any expectations to privacy do the unauthorized users have?

I believe I have an unauthorized wireless router on my network.  I have been
unable to physically find it as of yet.

Does anyone know how to find the hidden SSID and then Jam it?

Thank you.
