I think it is wrong and should be illegal because why should one person have to pay for the signal and the other person gets that same exact signal for free?

Yup. Most people in my area don't realize that I could just go change all their router settings with no problem. Not that I would, but I could.

It's illegal. It's called theft. If you're caught you could be prosecuted.
Get your own.
There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got

How is this any different from some one driving around looking for a "hot spot" to use. Do they know whether this "hot spot" is there from some one wanting to set up a free access point or some one simply left their access point open?

If I leave my front door open does that give you the right to burgle me?

Rule of thumb:
If you don't know, ask.
If you don't know who to ask then just don't.
