Don't bother worrying about it. Just enable WPA or WEP encryption and they won't be able to.

you can use comview and a firewall comview tracks incoming and outgoing wireless and lan frequencies entering your network and it gives you there ip adresses then you can use the firewall to block those incoming ips so they can stop stealing your wireless

The only thing you can track is to go to the status page of your wireless router, look at the DHCP table and you will see the MAC addresses of all devices that have received an IP address from your router. Now you have evidence and if you can find out who has that MAC address in your neighborhood you have proof that they are stealing your network access. But that's all you can get, you can't get the direction they are at, or their street address from this.If you have network sniffer software, you could capture their traffic and you might catch a name or address that would tell you who they are. But if you do find out, what will you do about it? Are you going to knock on their door and tell them to stop? Try to file charges with the police?The the best thing to do is just turn on encryption like WPA or use the MAC address restriction page to only let your PCs use your router.
