I was just going to respond "goddamn communist hippie" but you were a lot more eloquent.

I am still trying to figure out why we still have honor boxes when there doesn't seem to be much left ... it must cost more to develop and maintain a device that will provide one paper per payment than the newspapers lose in inventory.

The guy who maintained the honor boxes at my college wrote on the glass windows of all of them ... "PLEASE DON'T STEAL MY LIVELYHOOD."

I don't know if anyone ever listened, but I thought that perhaps that does indicate that the boxes are individually maintained rather than by the newspaper itself ... that it's a concession, and by taking all the papers out of the box you're zinging one struggling guy rather than the big evil corporation.
