This is such a wonderful story. It should serve as an example to us all, and as a shining light to the young. Yes, you can do something positive for society, while still breaking the law and cheesing everybody off! It's win-win.
In Paris, in the '80s and '90s, there was a group of students who liked throwing parties in the tunnels underneath Paris. These tunnels were technically closed to the public, but kids will be kids. So these students grew up and they forgot all about - wait, no, they didn't! They remembered! They kept the faith.
They formed an organization called UX. It is, according to the Guardian, a newspaper in England that guards things, a group of about 150 people broken up into various cells with specialized functions. Some of them restore crypts and public monuments, others throw parties and poetry readings in unauthorized locations, others enjoy breaking into buildings.

Of course, the story goes on, they eventually got arrested, mostly because they couldn't stand the idea of having fixed an ancient and neglected clock only to have it fall into disrepair again - so they brought the site's Administrator into their secret, and well, he had them brought up on charges.
What I found interesting, aside from the admirable organization and chutzpah of those involved, is that nowhere is there any mention of insurance or liability.
