Belgian who was using someone else his wireless get's arrested

Last weekend I heard on the news that a Belgian was arrested because he was using someone else his wireless connection, in this case the person who did it parked his car in front of a house and was using the wireless connection, moments later he gets arrested received a fine and was released shortly after that.

Now while he wasn't really the neighbor should he get a fine because one was not securing his network? Connecting by accident onto your neighbors access point is one thing but sitting in your car in front of a house is another.

On the other hand the one who let his wireless connection unsecured should be educated that this can be a dangerous situation for him.

Here is what can happen if you let you're wireless open:

What do you think about this and are you securing you're wireless connections or are you using the one from the neighbors?
