A former colleague of mine was part owner of a self serve yogurt shop with his son. They would leave the cash tray exposed like this.

He showed me security footage of some guys breaking in, checking the tills for money, finding a lock box under the counter and then getting frustrated, so they went into the back and stole bags of toppings.

It was very wise. Repairing or replacing a cash register is not cheap (and not having a cash register because the thief thought it was full so he stole it) makes it that much harder to reopen and get back to business. Anything a business owner can to reduce the potential damages is a good thing.
