I think 99.99% of my customers are honest but there is little money in roadside eggs and when you come over a couple times a week and find the box broken into again you just feel like giving up. It's pocket money to me but I know it means a lot to my neighbours to buy local eggs. Maybe need to re-locate.

Is there a way you could have the stall nearer the house? I've just started selling eggs this year and though my neighbours are lovely (I'm in an urban area) there's a few folk round here who seem to think the ideal way of having fun is to make other people's lives miserable. As a result, I didn't even bother putting an honesty box out and have to get people to knock at the door for the product. It's a pain, and limits trade, but I can well imagine coming home to find produce and money gone!

I could have it near the farm but where it is the perfect spot. A wide bit of road where people can stop and walkers can come from 3 directions to it.

A long tube, something like 3 ft length of scaffold pole is good.  Block up the bottom and chain it to the gate post.  Nobody can get their hands down to the money unless you unchain it and tip it up.

Like that idea. What about notes though? Not that I get many. I could run it through the hedge into our field and into a steel box with some concrete blocks in the bottom. I've got one of those site boxes going spare.
