Or more to the point, Wardiving.
My children’s school is bounded by 2 streets perpendicular to the street the school is on. After dropping them off, I move down one of these streets to a road that travels down the edge of the bay. Along this street there are 3 wireless networks. Only 1 is secure.
Along the road I drive home from work, as in between work and home, there are 5 different wireless networks, including the one next door to work. Mitre10Mega’s is secure, as is Concut’s, but another called “default” and another with no name, other than the box displayed when windows can’t display a character, are unsecure.
The 5th, my own ad-hoc network is not secure, but you can’t secure an ad-hoc connection. Fortunately, you need to be in my driveway to connect, and, before you even think about it SW, all my network shares are password protected.

LOL… images of peering out my window at 3 AM to see who’s in my driveway. Oh, it’s only Cub. Go back to sleep. :D
