If you put a table out like this, you should also put out a note explaining the conditions.
There are some greedy, selfish barstewards around.

TBH Steve I dont think a note saying "please dont take all 44 custards" should be necessary......nor would it make any difference to that sort of person.

The thing is, at least 2 people just ON THIS THREAD think otherwise. Do you want people to know your intentions or not? your call ...
Really!!!! 2 people think a note saying "please dont take all 44 custards" is the answer
Sorry, but imo the sort of people that do that are not likely to take notice of such a request.

If you don't have a notice, no-one can know your intentions. And who knows, they might have plenty of greedy mouths to feed themselves? Why assume the worst of people?
Anyway. we seem to disagree about human motivation. Neither of us are psychic, so I'm happy to agree to disagree
(Unless you want an internet row about some out-of-date sweets! ;-) )

It obviously is necessary as then the miscreant could be arrested for theft... possibly.
haha.....I can see that newspaper heading. "Arrested for stealing out of date custard tarts"

Fully agree. Can't see them being arrested for it though.

Surely it would make more sense just to put a few out at a time, or am I just over simplifying things

I can't see anybody being arrested for the great custard tart heist... Exceeding one's allocation of free ageing comestibles isn't exactly a hanging offence! 
(Though I agree - it IS a bit greedy/selfish.)
I spotted a small paperback copy of bestseller Das Café am Rande der Welt: Eine Erzählung über den Sinn des Lebens so I took that for my stepdaughter (she has a BA in German). (Hmm... £7.04 at Amazon - a good saving!)
I think other people have been adding books to the shelves because they start to empty but keep getting topped up. I might add a few of my old books to the shelves when I stop at them again.
(Though I agree - it IS a bit greedy/selfish.)I was cycling past those bookshelves again this evening and decided to see what was on offer. There were a few large hardback books that might be worth reading but I didn't want to cart any of them with me on my ride so I left them (I might go back tomorrow to see if they are still there, but rain is forecast and I think the householders take the books indoors during bad weather.)
