A woman has been left furious after her roadside honesty box was broken into for the third time in recent memory.
Anja Dixon owns a small plant stall in Sir Williams Lane in Aylsham which is not supervised and instead relies on people depositing money into a box in good faith.
The box, which is made of wood and fastened with a padlock, was broken into between Sunday and Monday by someone who had "come prepared" with a screwdriver.
"I am furious with whoever did this," Ms Dixon said. "We have obviously been watched when we were in and when we were out.
"Now I need to warn others who have little stalls outside their houses so they can protect their earnings from being stolen or their property being damaged.

"Might I suggest to whoever did it; make your own money instead of stealing others."
According to Ms Dixon, it is not the first time her stall has been targeted.
She added: "I had plants and ready-made planters taken.
"I had donations-based items for charity for sale and the donation box got taken.
"There is an elderly gentleman further up the road who had his money box stolen and it was found on the rec and since then he hasn't bothered selling any more things because of it."
