741152 2009-01-22 21:26:00 Depending on there level of computer skills, if they log into his/her wireless device, they will be able to find out who's currently connected to it as it will display the current IP address and PC name. GR8Metal (14133)

It is 0% legal.

They will easily be able to detect someone on their network, finding who and where is the hard part.

I cant believe you are still considering this, are you a teenager per change with no respect for anyone else?, no sense of right or wrong?, no compassion that you may use up their data cap leaving them with none?

Or just a cheap bum, living off others?

You seem like you're still going to do it. Stop it. It is stealing their service. What is a neighbor uses your water tap with no permission?

If they don't know about it and they found out, they could have you up for fraud.
