I know this is wrong but...
I know this is wrong but I am too poor to buy a computer and internet. So I borrow a laptop every so often and pick up on one of my neighbors wireless connection. My question is, can my neighbor tell when I am borrowing their internet? I might be currently doing this and my connection keeps going out and is hard to get back.

It's called stealing, get your own connection. Your welcome.

Go ahead and run an extension cord into their outdoor outlets. I'm sure they won't mind. Hell, it's free electricity!

like I said, I know this is wrong. I hardly ever do it. If I knew which neighbor it was I would ask if they mind but there are several connections I think. If I had wireless I wouldn't care. And if they don't want it done can't they block it somehow? but thanks. oops I didn't realize I chose that one.

Yes, they can tell, but probably aren't looking. You can be arrested for theft of services, there is precedent.

If you're on good terms with them, go next door and ask if they would mind you using the connection once in a while, and offer them something in return. My dad did it with his neighbor for almost 2 years, with the neighbor's consent.

Are you serious? Kinda like the whole "if you don't lock your car doors in your own drive way you deserve to have your car stolen"?
Yousa classy lady.

This is why my network is private.

If you had satelite internet service at twice the cost of regular cable or dsl you would care very much, if you reach the downloading/uploading limit the service slows down to dial up speed for 30 days.

Why? Do you think wireless is free?
