Given an electro-magnetic fields strength is one over the distance squared, I don't think you need to worry about someone stealing your energy. You would have one hell of an energy bill for someone one hundred feet away to benefit substantially..even with a directional antenna. The big question is the efficiency. It's not going to happen at only 40% efficiency. As far as cancer goes, its an SLF frequency...no worries. It's the super high frequencies of x-rays, visible light and above that you need to be concerned with. The super high frequencies below 10 cm have been proven to cause cancers but the lower frequency electro-magnetic waves cause controversy at worst. Power or amplitude is also a factor. I would rather get hit with a 1 watt radar gun than a 10,000 watt ships radar at near the same frequencies. Right now you are being bombarded with 60 Hz waves from the 120/240V wires around the house. Do you need to worry at that frequency?...I'm not worried. Exposure time is a third and pretty self-explanatory factor.
