This is true to. I know from experience from watching my network connections when cars would park near house. Soon as i secured my wi-fi problem solved. Not that hard to do either if you know how to follow instructions.

This is a good warning for laptop users. Changed mine to desktop because of this sort of thing!

Someone has hacked into our unprotected wireless home network. The police came with a search warrant and took our laptops and cameras. They said I need to protect my network. Whatever someone did, we are responsible. We are beside ourselves thinking we will be arrested. We may have to get a lawyer, which we can't afford. Tell your listeners to please protect themselves. We are going to use Ethernet cables from now on.
