It certainly could be snatched. If someone was out to break your WPA2-protected network, they could do so with relative ease. The question is: why would they? Nobody is going to bother simply in order to use your bandwidth, when there are almost certainly several unsecured networks within a stones throw.
That out of the way, they must be after some information on your network. Are you working for the NSA? MI5/6? Mossad? Something even more secret? And take your work home with you and store it on your home network? Do you store your credit card details on your computer/reader or are you in the habit of sending your credit card details over unsecured connections? Are you a spy/secret agent/terrorist and communicate with other spies/secret agents/terrorists via instant messaging?
If you can answer no to all of those, there's probably no reason to worry at all. Unless your network contains something particularly interesting or tempting
and someone knows about it, no-one is going to bother breaching it. There are so many unsecured networks out there that there's simply no reason to bother with one that is secured.
