Perhaps... maybe not the most ideal of things though.

Many estates have some sort of neighbourhood watch scheme (as far as I'm aware) and this could be something to go along the same route and ntl could offer them some sort of incentive for them to do so (would probably be a lot cheaper than continually fixing broken boxes - they're not doing so at the moment, but going forward, if they keep getting damaged, its just postponing the inevitable in that they're all gonna have to be fixed sooner or later.
Giving the keys to Cabs out to members of the public could lead to more problems than it solves. What if a key gets dropped and someone picks it up, opens a cab and wrecks it or has a play with the cables.
A better idea is a responsive, properly run and easily accessible open/ damaged cab report function. Maybe they should put a phone number on the outside of the cabs so people can ring in if they are left open? Coupled with a web based reporting function the number of open and damaged boxes could be reduced drastically.
