My mum was accused of a climbing up drain pipes to break in to government offices to get documents that led to some important news stories being written. Apparently the government department in question didn't like the more likely explanation that whistleblowers were handing her brown envelopes full of photocopied papers (which, as it happens, was what was going on). Thre was talk of her being taken to court to try to compel her to reveal her sources, but the whole scandal resolved itself before then.
