Having said this, I didn't bother to properly secure my own home

just be it.
Would you leave your door open so anyone can come in at any hour of the
day and pee in your toilet or watch your movies?
I don't think the comparison holds. I repeat, I don't have any
problem if my neighbour, at some point, used my wireless network to
access the web or check e-mail. I wouldn't even care him
sporadically downloading stuff if it didn't interfered with my
normal network activity and I didn't have an usage limit.
Now, if you are thinking in somebody breaking into my home network
and somehow gaining access to my computer, that's obviously another
issue, and I would put it more like "leaving the door open so any
malicious person can come in at night and pee in my kitchen and
steal my movies".
I'm not any sure whether a WPA encryption can really stop somebody
who knows how to do that, though.
