Man, they are either idiots or have no identity worth stealing. I always tell my customers it’s like leaving your house unlocked and a big sign on your door informing the mailman you’ll be out of town for a week. You’re right about the kids being on the prowl for unsecure nets. Around here, we also have networks of criminals from Nigeria, Russia or Eastern Europe who drive around looking for open networks. Then they’ll park on the street outside the building and use the networks to stage hacking attacks and other activities.
Belive me when I tell you, they're idiots. Living on a corner has its pro's and cons. Pro's being no neighbors on one side of me and a larger yard. Thankfully I live in a quiet neighborhood.
Con's being that every once in awhile I have to walk outside and chase someone away parked along the eastern side of my home (corner) who's picking up the neighbor's wireless. Typically I wouldn't really care but these kids have zero respect for anyone's property and invariably I'll find their junk food garbage on my lawn if I don't chase them away.....
