According to a new nationwide survey, 32% of Americans . . . or ONE out of THREE . . . admit they're stealing their neighbor's Wi-Fi Internet connection.

In other words . . . if you don't have a password on your wireless Internet router, there's a pretty decent chance someone in the area is leeching off you.

In 2008, only 18% of people said they were hopping on a neighbor's Wi-Fi connection.  Then again, a lot more people have high-speed Internet today than back in '08.
