A man in Florida has been charged with stealing a Wi-Fi signal in Florida (where else).  It ends up that using someone else’s signal without permission, which is classified as "unauthorized access to a computer network," is a third degree felony. From the article:

Police say Smith admitted using the Wi-Fi signal from the home of Richard Dinon, who had noticed Smith sitting in an SUV outside Dinon’s house using a laptop computer.

The practice is so new that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement doesn’t even keep statistics, according to the St. Petersburg Times, which reported Smith’s arrest this week.

Two things here: the guy can’t be too bright considering how he got caught, and the practice isn’t that new…now someone getting charged, that’s new. 

Only in Florida.
