if you know what you're doing ?
WEP is easy to crack in that you can record a session off the air,
then use some serious computer power to figure out that session's
key. That doesn't get you access to your protected WAP. And it
doesn't get you access to the SSL-encrypted data within the session
(https web browser connections, eg).

Their ongoing persistence, in the face of a simple "No" is
troubling, though. If they continue you have the basis of a
harassment claim, and I'd involve the police if it seems at all
likely to escalate.
IMO, set your passwords and let 'em hack you if they can. Just check
your router's DHCP table periodically to see if they're talking.
That MAC address it records will be your evidence for when you turn
'em in.
