I just found out the bastards that moved next door have been stealing my wireless internet!! I had wep security set up. I was experiancing very slow internet speeds, i just changed the security to wpa and changed the password, and presto my internet speed bumps up again. How can i find out oif they were and what can i do about it??

sorry to hear that.. but if you're living in my country (which is Malaysia). Stealing wireless connection from somebody is a crime.. we (the victims) can make a police report and the so call bastard will get into serious trouble.. don't forget to mention getting his arse jailed up. of course, prove it with some evidence and you'll win

Well its illegal everywhere that there is a law against theft.
Now, you'll just have to prove to the police what's been happening is in fact true. I think that's the harder part.

Damn you make me all paranoid about mine now, I have two wireless set ups in my house, one for business and one for personal use and neither I don't think have any security. But then again nor do my neighbours since I can pick all of theirs up.

You can find out if it was them by looking in the router control panel. There should be an event log which will tell you the network name of the device(s) that connected to the router and the times that they connected. Depending on the router, it might even tell you how much data they transfered over your network.
I don't think the police would be very interested though. While it is technically stealing, I've never heard of anyone actually getting prosecuted for it. Nokia made a big stink about it four years ago, but nothing ever came of it.

If it was me, I'd give them full access. Then use routing tables to re-direct all of their web page requests to spyware infected dodgy pr0n sites
