What’s the problem with your neighbor using "your" SSID?

It’s not like anybody can "own" an SSID name, and if you’re using WPA, the only effect would be a few milliseconds longer of initial connection time per device.

Actively running a DoS against your neighbor might or might not be legal, but it sure is petty (and given the above, unnecessary).
