Part of my ongoing clear out plan includes putting items out the front
by the pavement and asking for contributions to a charity. I have a
plastic collecting tin with a "wasp waist" 2/3 down.

To make an attempt to secure it (recognising that someone with a decent
knife could just cut the bottom off) I thought I would fix some angle
iron to the front wall, then fasten the box to the angle iron. The
angle iron could also support a poster explaining what is going on.

I do have a length of chain and a padlock but this is fairly hefty and
over the top.

Anyone have an idea for an unobtrusive fixing which is secure but
easily released - some kind of chain or band to go around the narrow
bit of the plastic box?

Cable cycle lock?

One of my options, but the ones I have are not adjustable - you just wind
the cable through the wheels and frame.

Don't want to spend too much money on the whole thing as then I'd probably
better off just giving the money directly.

Gaffer tape might be an option to deter the short term opportunist. About
as secure as a plastic container anyway.
