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
