It's happened to me as stated. Back in public school, I had a friend who got banned from using the computers for several months for VNC'ing into his home computer. Because it was "hacking" - no other rationale, no complicating factors. To use the car analogy: it's like getting arrested for using a remote to unlock your car instead of a physical key. (Or, more accurately, like getting your license taken away for several months. Which may make even less sense.)
