If I am on my neighbors wireless, he can still use it. The whole neighborhood can probably use it without depriving him of its use.
I will add that ISPs that secretly use bandwidth caps (like ComCast was caught doing) will "deprive" the paying owner of the network of his access.
There should be an onus on the wireless owner to secure it, however. Let's jump back to the car analogy for a moment. If you leave your car unlocked in New York City with the keys in it ... you are an idiot and while the NYPD will probably make "an effort" to locate your car, that effort will be cursory at best after they laugh their asses of at you. Responsibility and Privilege go hand in hand.
