On: Is it stealing to read by the light of your neighbour’s lamp?

Here’s another one.

I know someone who’s upstairs neighbours radiator pipes ran through their apartment. The pipes are scalding hot when the neighbour’s heating is on.

What is the legality of slapping a big honking heat sink on the pipes?

He never did it but we discussed it, from both technical and ethical points of view.

It would likely be considered either trespass to chattel or to land.
