  Man! that's cheating! I used to work at Martin Marietta and they moved everyone around frequently. When they did we got other desks, file drawers etc. The problem was theat we now had to change keys and had to keep up with new ones. I became very popular when my co-workers found out that I could pick the locks on all the desks and cabinents, remove the lock cylinders then re-install them in their new furniture so that they could keep their old keys. Interestingly, the facilities people didn't mind. It saved them the trouble of replacing lost keys and what not.
