Piggy-Backing- 2 people arrested for stealing WiFi internet.!!

In a bizzare (rather it would get practical very soon) incident, 2 people were arrested by the London Police for "Piggy-Backing". Which means the use of internet with the intention to avoid subscription expenses. The two people in different incidents sitting inside a car, and using a laptop to consume an internet connection from a WiFi (Wireless) Router.

The two have been warned, and let off, in the first such incident in Britain on Wednesday (Reuters). These types of incidents have started to become common with the advent of cheaper devices such as Wireless routers and wireless modems for High Speed Broadband Internet connections. In once such incident i have noticed my internet connection being used, when I ignored to secure my connection. I immediately secured my connection. -
