Re: Their product is based on theft? If you leave your garage door up while you are away it's ok if we come borrow a few things since you forgot to setup basic security like closing the door?

Le sigh.
Your garage door does not announce to your neighbors that they are allowed to enter.
An open garage door is the same as wifi that is not broadcasting SSID. An open garage door with a midget in front using a megaphone telling everyone to come into the garage is equivalent to open wifi with SSID broadcast enabled. |

Neither does your SSID, unless it says something like "Free Wifi"
An open AP is not not mean you have right to use it. Do you believe you have the right to use your neighbors garden hose to get a drink? Do you think you have a right to use the air hose off his air compressor to inflate your tires? Do you have a right to plug into that extension cord that's near your property line?
Just because it's there unsecured does not mean you have a right to it.
It's petty to try and prosecute for the theft of internet service from an open AP but it is still theft. I
