Cheer up Tottefan! am pretty sure there are still a few around in the UK, though probably not many. I would often pass through the Cambridgeshire Fens on the way to visit my parents in Lincolnshire and there would be vegetable stalls by the roadside ... and honesty boxes.

There must be a dozen or so fruit/vegetable stalls around our town, all with honesty boxes. Fortunately, most people here are honest. There is still about $200-$300 worth of mandarins on the trees, so I shall go out looking for a new box tomorrow.
