That is my strategy at home as well.  I can connect to three wide
open networks from my house, so I consider WEP, MAC filtering and
a hidden SSID good enough to encourage a hacker to use one of the
open networks.  The machines at my house are not on full time, so
at most times, all a hacker can do is steal bandwidth.

As always, YMMV.
