  SO? If you are one of the moderators in this forum are you going to close this thread just because a similar one has been posted at Chit Chat which is moderated by you?
  
  This piece of news is IT related and we don't see it wrong to exist here in this forum so stop being such a nuisance. Even if one day the red herring mod in this forum's remove and gone for good, we still won't vote you as a mod here. 3 knowledgeable mods aplenty no doubt.

  According to Straits Times, apparently the boy's mother switched off his own modem to prevent him from surfing the net, but he went out with his laptop and went to look for some other network to use. His neighbour happened to return and spotted him, and so hauled him to the police station for it.

  did the neighbour incur any losses or charges because of his usage?
  
  any idea?

  Hijacking another user's bandwidth will result in a drop in the connection speed on the affected user's computer. Also the traceablility of the user 's information should first be the victim's account in the event that illegal acts of internet usage were found as a result of the pirate riding piggyback over another user.
