Be careful "latching on" to an unsecured networks. Some legal eagles consider this theft of service. Though if someone is concerned about someone stealing their service they should password protect it. Then there are those that leave the network unsecured because they don't mind others using their service.
More importantly, you should also be concerned about unsecured networks because accessing one can give someone access to YOUR data. Though we all want to trust our fellow Villagers, there are people out there that set up unsecured networks just to grab data from unsuspecting "latchers".
