I could argue that the very fact that your unsecured signal was
brodcasting into a public place (or through the walls of my house)
constitutes your intent for me to use it. Don't want me to use it? Put
up some "keep out" and "no tresspassing" signs (even WEP or WPA would
be enough to prove your true intent) or don't broadcast a public
signal into my backyard.
