Am i right in thinking, my wireless connection at home doesnt have any security, so someone could walk up to the house with a wireless laptop, and view any files that happen to be shared over the network?
e.g if i have sage installed on one main PC, and i have to allow 2 other PCs to access that PC, that someone couldview that?

If they join your network, and you have shares, of course they can.

i think there is a chance there might be a WEP key, but i do know i dont have to enter the key in order to connect to the router in order to go on the net.
Its not actually my network, is someone else, and he does have sage on the PCs, and 3/4 other PCs use that main sage PC as the server.

The router has DHCP enabled, so your guy parked outside gets assigned an address.
He then runs a sweep of pings on the subnet which he's been assigned to look for other computers, or he might not even need to do that if he gets number 5. Just try 4,3,2,1.
He goes opens a the c$ UNC share and logs on as administrator with no password and has a root around the whole hard drive. Quick look around Documents and Settings get some cookies / Outlook dbx files so he can take the file and read your mail offline and take his time over it. Hopefully in the mail are other passwords to other services etc.
Maybe download My Documents if it looks interesting etc.
This is happening as quick as you're reading this as well, woudn't take long.

ps. I'm assuming default configs here, it might not be that easy.
I would do a proper audit before coming to any conclusions about the company who did it.

Start -> Run
\\192.168.0.2\c$
replace the 2 with whatever machine you want to look at. Might also be like
\\10.0.0.2
\\10.0.0.4
whatever.
If you join the laptop and it acquires a DHCP address, do a Start -> Run -> cmd on that and type ipconfig
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
The 2 is your own address, the 1 is the gateway, your target machines will probably be in the middle of those two numbers as you're last to arrive.
