I guess that would depend what the name of the network was. If someone lived next door to a MacDonald's, and named their unsecured WiFi network "MacDonald's Free WiFi" then there would probably be not too much chance of a conviction if someone were to connect to it. But if it were called "Fred's Private Network" then there might be more of a case to answer.

And then there are murky cases. For instance, I remember once instance of this where a guy was arrested for stealing a library's wifi after it was closed (he was sitting outside in his car).

That sounds like an apocryphal story to me (unless you have a link to it?).
