Family shut farm's honesty box after egg theft

A 10-year-old boy has been forced to close his family's honesty box after thieves stole the eggs and did not leave any money.

The family egg stand had been run over the years by Celt and his siblings, Brenig and Briallen, outside their home near Llanrwst, Conwy county.

It was a way for them to save pocket money but their mum, Dwynwen Williams, said the family recently decided to shut the stand after a dozen eggs were taken with no money left.

It's a shame that some petty criminal stole the eggs and didn't pay for them as it would knock the family's faith in human nature
I would assume that there was no CCTV there because the culprit should be named and shamed
Some time ago I did read about a similar thing where a car driver stopped in a quiet country lane and helped himself to things from the honesty box and left without paying
This time the owner did have CCTV and had a good image of the thief and also his car registration number and was able to confront the man and sort the matter out
