Refers to the pathetic practice of as few particularly-unscrupulous/selfish folks who go around to unattended produce-booths that typically pop up in late Summer and early Fall, carefully note which of the stands use unsecured "purely on the honor system" money-containers like screw-top canning-jars or snap-top coffee-cans, and then wait till late enough in the afternoon when the "unprotected" booths' cash-containers would logically be about the "most heavy with the day's fruit and therefore ripe for the plucking", but still a little while before the farmers would likely arrive back at their stands to close up shop and collect their money... the greedy light-fingered shysters then hastily empty out the containers into their own pockets and leave without anyone's being the wiser.
It's just too bad that you can't trust people nowadays with even fairly small amounts of cash laying around! Fruit/vegetable gardeners will do well to take steps to foil farm-stand harvesters --- one of the best ways is to n-e-v-e-r simply leave ordinary easily-opened/broken containers for legitimate customers to leave their money for purchasing the booth's produce --- instead you'll want to supply a "drop it in the slot"-based money-container, and have the container firmly/solidly fastened down so that it cannot be readily "lifted" and transported elsewhere to be forced open later. I would recommend a heavy-walled plywood or metal box with glue-covered countersink-embedded deck-screws or welded-together bolts that cannot simply be unscrewed, and have the box securely bolted to the farm-stand's main framing-timbers where it cannot be simply pried loose by hand.

Disciplinary/reactionary consequences you'll likely face for over-stuffing a space with objects or material.
Generally da cramifications for putting too many items in a bag or box will be said container's splitting open and messily spilling its contents all over da place.

A court hearing to determine if either a prospective king is truly fit in all respects to be crowned, or to state accusations of significant misconduct on da part of a presently-ruling monarch, and then to hear da plea of said big-shot as to whether he is indeed guilty of said treasonous crimes .
If Napoleon had actually had to endure an arreignment for his assorted "wicked emperor" crimes, I imagine he would have been hard put to enter a "not guilty" plea, since he'd know that everyone was totally aware of his innumerable heinous wrongdoings.

If Jerry Seinfeld had actually tried to consume all of those six huge boxes of Chinese gum ("A hundred dollars' worth!"), he'd have had quite an extended richewal to perform!

A law dat prevents someone from hollering about a gate's being left unsecured if said closable barrier has been in said undone state for a long period of time.
As often as James Herriot had vehemently reminded Farmer Ripley about the broken gate that kept causing him injurious grief every time he had to open or shut it, there is little chance that said lazy farmer could bring a door-laches claim against said hapless country-vet for his indignant and aggravated protests regarding said deteriorated barrier.
