A hacker would need to park at the end of my front sidewalk, unless he used a 12' dish.

MAC filtering and SSID hiding are also ineffective against a hacker, although they work against neighboring PCs that "accidentally" grab your signal (Windows is famous for this.)
If you can't get a signal outside of your property line, then turn off WEP and fuhgeddaboutit.
