I would argue that this is his responsibility. It's negligent to leave a wireless connection unsecured. If the connection is abused as a result, then the owner of the connection should be responsible for that. It's like leaving your car unlocked and the key in the ignition; the police probably won't have too much sympathy for you if it's stolen, and your insurance certainly won't pay out.
