1) Committing criminal acts (fraud, id theft, etc) . Yes, people doing this from their houses have gotten caught, even when they used high gain antennas to do long range attacks.
2) Parking in front of someone's house or in a parking lot a little too long. This is guaranteed to get you caught, especially if you do it real late at night.
I've yet to hear of someone in their place of residence getting arrested for stealing someone's wifi to check email, surf web, etc.
