I have three neighbors all on broadband using unsecured 108Mbps 802.11g access points. I'm starting to think I can drop my own broadband service and just use theirs.

Well, we're behind the times, using hard-wired Ethernet to link the home computers together... but when my wife activates the wireless feature of her hand-held, an intriguing "Network Debbie" pops up on the screen.

Haven't done anything with it... yet. But I'm kind of tempted to see if we could "Do Debbie..."

It's trivial to find the location of a station connected to a wifi network.

You could use something like Kismet on unix or Netstumbler on windows and just walk in the direction that makes the signal stronger.
