It might surprise you who does stuff like that. We grew pumpkins a couple years, and sold them on a trailer by the road in the yard. I knew what to expect from people, so I had made a steel drop box for money. We have cameras, and had checked the box one day and saw like $3. So we looked at the cameras, and there had been several people stop and help themselves. One was an old lady probably in her 70's lol. Packed off 5-6 pumpkins and didn't pay!

someone later stole a giant pumpkin we had as decoration up next to the house. Needless to say I don't bother with pumpkins anymore.
