Hi everyone

So far as I'm aware, it's illegal to drive around in the UK with a laptop and connect to a random wireless network, but which law or Act of Parliament covers this? Is it simply theft or is it a more specific computer-related law? I know that the Computer Misuse Act covers unauthorised access to a computer, whether well-intentioned or not, but would this also include unauthorised access to a wireless router?

This is just a general question out of interest - I don't know anyone who does this, I haven't been doing it, nor do I intend doing so!

Thanks in advance.
