Light-fingered fruit stall patrons got more publicity than they bargained for after helping themselves to honesty box cash in the Bay of Islands.
Not only did at least four men mis-read the sign prominently displayed above the cash box - sorry lads, it doesn't say 'dishonesty box' - they also seem to have overlooked a sign warning would-be thieves of the consequences.
A well-positioned security camera at the roadside stall in Kerikeri has been photographing people as they help themselves to the honesty box.
Some are captured as they look furtively over their shoulders, others help themselves with misplaced confidence they can't be seen.
