It sounds like this guy was stealing bandwidth. The setting that would have prevented that is access control, not encryption.

If you have a wireless network, and its not encrypted, you're just plain loopy. Might as well leave your front door open and post a large neon sign on your roof for all burglars: "This way to an easy entrance"...

Could be a way terrorist might use to access the Internet. Can you imagine what would happen if Eschalon caught him using such terms as "nuke attack" on your wireless connection? Within 30 minutes you would be hearing loud knocking sounds on your front door.

You can turn off WEP, turn off SSID but get a WAP that supports PPTP.

Simple solution. Yank open the car door, grab the computer and throw it into the ground, grab the asshole out of the car, throw him into the ground and stomp on him.
Then call the police and complain about litter.
