A Florida man has been arrested for stealing Wi-Fi.

Richard Dinon noticed 41-year-old Benjamin Smith III of St. Petersburg sitting in an SUV outside Dinon’s home using a laptop. Smith was arrested and charged with unauthorized access to a computer network, a third-degree felony. He faces a pre-trial hearing this month.

Police say Smith admitted stealing Dinon’s signal, but it’s unclear what he was up to.

Anyone want to place odds that Dinon’s net is no longer named “Default,” “Linksys” or “Netgear”?
