Security camera installed because honesty box users not honest

From Checkpoint, 5:52 pm on 19 October 2018

Fresh fruit, and vegetables, free range eggs and honey - help yourself, but don't forget to pay. Thats the message from Grass Esposti who has a road-side stall just north of Auckland which operates an honesty box - only it turns out the honesty box is not so honest. Tired of finding monopoly money and old receipts instead of coins and cash....she has had to install security cameras. It's petty theft but theft nonetheless, Grass says... and she suspects the culprits are close to home.
