Actually, you're not.. You're asking "what can I do about all the people in
my house? By the way I insist on leaving all my doors open, and a sign
outside saying 'free candy, come on in' and for good measure leave all my
jewelry on the dresser and silverware on the table"
Ask yourself, if you were burgled under these conditions, would the
insurance company pay out?
So... You have an unlocked network with a publically visible ID, in a
networking environment where any client will generally try to connect
automatically to the strongest signal. If you don't want some of these
clients to attach, then put in place some security to stop them, such as
SSID hiding, MAC address validation, IP locking, WEP, WPA etc.
>I am asking - "What can I do with a burglar who is in my Home?"
Power down all your networking kit, that'll get rid of him. But the point
is, getting rid of him isn't your real problem, is it? Your real problem is
that you have no security.

The part where you ask what to do about the fish in your shoes, or some
other question unrelated to your actual problem.
