And if someone does use your Wi-Fi access point to download something dodgy and it's traced back to your IP address/home, etc. then how are you going to be able to prove innocence? Even when you are, how much inconvenience is it going to cause? You'll have all your computers confiscated, you'll be taken away, jailed, then even when you're proven innocent, the neighbours will start to talk, rumours will spread and so on.
Yep, pretty much what I said. At least if the wireless is locked down *somehow* if there are others open the secured one will be left alone.
