Question Circuit Breakers

Just climbed into my aircraft the other day and one of the ciruit breakers was tyraped open. I have heard of this before, a system is faulty so the engineers tyrap it to prevent the pilot from trying to use the system.
The bad side is when the engineer accidentally tyraps the wrong circuit breaker.... Then you could have two systems unavailable.
Has anyone out there had this happen to you, I would like to hear some of the stories to pass on to my engineer and C/P.
For the record I cut the tyrap and refuse to fly an aircraft with circuit breakers tyrapped like that.
If it is an obsolete system then remove the C/B. If it is a U/S system the tag it, snag it and let the pilot know.
Thanks
