Obviously putting a password on it will stop them, but what about the potential damage that could have already been done? They are obviously download something, because they're sucking up all my bandwidth. What if they're downloading something illegal and I get into trouble for it?

Best thing to do is just encrypt it and hope nothing happens, it's very unlikely you'd get caught out for someone downloading on your connection. Unless your router keeps a track of all MAC addresses that have recently connected to your wireless connection and then you go around checking people's laptops, there's no way you'll know who was connected. Also, are you sure someone was connected at all? Could have just been your internet being a bit crappy.
