Free Internet

How many people here routinely opt for getting their internet connection from their neighbors unsecured wireless routers? Do we see this as an acceptable way to behave? What would make stealing someones internet more acceptable than stealing their milk delivery, or their mail? Both of those things are left outside where anyone can get them. Maybe it's the idea that there is almost no chance of getting caught. It seems like a concept that has really gained traction, as wireless has exploded in the last decade.

Anyone know how to tell if someone is piggybacking on your router? Is there some way to see what machines are accessing the internet through your portal? I keep WPA on mine, but would like to know how to check anyway.
