Mr Cuthbert was simply attempting to verify the security of an institution that he had decided to entrust his credit card details to. Granted, one should not try to break into the vault of a bank to check their security, but I think that his intent was somewhat closer to rattling the lock on the safety deposit box after dropping your money in, to make sure that someone else can't just come along and help
themself.

[/snip] Well, it doesn't say anything in the law about "rattling the lock on a safety deposit box after dropping your money in". But even in that case, anyone with a decent conscience would look around when rattling because it would feel a little "odd". But on the case of Mr. Cuthbert's "attempt to verify the security", that IS indeed mentioned as being criminal in the law books.
