I live in Georgia about 20 miles south of Atlanta. I sold firewood. I sold quite a bit of it on the honor system. When I was away and got a call for wood I would tell them the price and where to leave the money and what stack to get. In nine years I had only one that stole wood. He called I told him what to do and when I got home he took four stacks instead of one and left no money. Turns out that my brother inlaw could ID the man. I still sell items on the honor system and am very happy with the added sales. The way I figure it is if givin the chance most people are honest. Of coarse there are some that are not. Some people just don't have the money and are truely needy some are just crooks. I'm glad I took the chance, so is my wallet.
Just my two cents worth
