The keyword her, surely, is "UNSECURED" wi-fi networks, haven't people learned ANYTHING?
Anyway, as I understand it, under UK law, it is not a crime to GAIN information, it is a crime to disclose or otherwise use that information, without just cause, the same, for example, as overhearing someones mobile phone conversation or getting a crossed line on your landline.

Take the hint people secure your wi-fi, and in case you didn't hear that, SECURE YOUR WI-FI, the REAL bad guys won't own up to it!!
