OK, I admit I've done it. Surfed the Internet using my neighbor's wireless, that is.I feel badly. Sort of.

Me and my sister only did this once, because we had no internet (our router died).
I still don't know where the signal came from, but it sure wasn't my neighbours' (I had to hang the usb stick out of my windows and I could only connect when it was orientated in a very specific way

).
I honestly don't see any other reason why I would surf on my neighbours 's network, we have wireless internet, the signal is good, it's encrypted and it's fast ... plus, all the networks I find are encrypted (most WEP, but I can't crack it with my WiFi card)
