This certainly is a problem if you don't set up a secure network. My collegue frequently uses his next door neighbour's connection to access the internet. This article is highly recommendable

Setting up a wep key is so simple, people should know better than leavin unsecured networks. What I'm concerned with however is weather nor not a 64bit key is sufficient to keep out local air snorters.

its been what 2 years now since wep has been declared *unsecure* if someone is listening to enough traffic they can work out your key.
