I had a colleague who got into trouble for picking a lock for a coworker, even though the coworker had the right/permission to access what was locked up -- they'd misplaced the key and the colleague was simply trying to help them keep from losing time to the problem. The colleague had formerly worked as a locksmith.

So... if you have the skills, be careful as to when and where you exercise them. Even if you think there is no issue, if bureaucracy is in the neighborhood, best to keep it in your pocket.

P.S. Unless your name is Feynman -- real or in spirit! ;-)
