If I lived near overhead power lines (or had them on my land) I'd definitely make use of as much of this kind of charging as I could get away with. It's probably not legal, but it'd make an interesting case. (Assuming it hasn't already been tested in court.)

In the US it is definitely illegal to siphon power from a utility, even without a physical connection.
Detecting it with casual use is probably impossible though.
But living that close to high power transmission lines can't be good for you in the long term.
