Your rights to your own property are not contingent on how well you secure that property. Maybe your neighbour has a few outdoor power points, so what you should do is buy a few really long extension cables, jump the fence and plug them in, then reap the rewards of free electricity! It's his stupid fault for not putting a lock over the top of them!
With WiFi, someone else is paying for it, and you're using it without their permission, which is stealing. It doesn't matter that they're so lame it's still called "Linksys" and doesn't even have WEP on, let alone WPA. I can see the case of some people not knowing any better and the computer just connecting, but unfortunately for them ignorance is not a defense.
