In most parts of Denmark the "culture enrichers" will pick that stall clean of produce and money. So it's a dying thing here due to influence from the very south :-(

#16 I don't mean to spoil your fun, but it reads "field and cashbox are under surveillance".

Germans don't joke around. If someone volunteers on a regular basis, we call it "Ehrenamt" – honorable office. No laughing matter. Move along.

Justina,

i wouldn't go so far as to translate this to 'under surveilance'.. that implies to me that there's a camera on it. (it would translate to overwatch, but that doesn't make sense in this context:) i'd say "are checked"

the thing is: if you mess with an honesty box, the owner will eventually take it away. It works because the people make it work. it takes just one mofo to foul it up.

In the netherlands, around me in a circle of about 10km that is, I see a lot of these: eggs, tomatoes, strawberries, pumpkins, mushrooms, books, milk, etc.

yeah, the world isn't bad, there's just a few d@#ks that spoil it.

just half of them are sh#tty in the US. set up one of these and the poor will rob you. mostly see these in welfare states. they are enabler boxes.

Never willingly volunteer anything you don't mind seeing lost, stolen or ruined. Far too many people today have no concept of conscience or self control.

Not now, but in the past, I've lived in places that you couldn't do the "honesty box" thing. They would take everything you have AND the honesty box!!! 35

"Once, I was buying veggies and fruits from a street seller. I got quite a lot of them. The seller calculated everything, I took the bags, and left. After having taken about 5 steps, I turned around and asked the seller, “Why are you not saying to me that I haven’t paid you?” She replied, “I got confused.” I returned and paid for the purchase."
