AteamwifiThis is either the stupidest or the most resourceful WiFi freeloader we've seen. An unnamed man was arrested and cautioned in the town of Redditch in the UK for leeching bandwidth from neighbors. But here's where it gets good. According to the BBC:

He attracted attention from neighbours in the early morning, as he had put up cardboard around his car windows but the light from his computer could be seen through the back window.
