The thing about theft is you never know when or where it's going to happen. It can happen on the road, or in your own backyard.
I think the majority of theft is opportunistic. Someone sees something that's left unsecured, they can pick up it up quick, and there's little to no chance they get caught.
That being said, I've left chairs, tables, even my Coleman grill outside, and no one's taken them yet. But who's to say they won't next time?
As for that cut up box, there's a reason. The clips on the box that you thread the wires through holds the splice in the box in case the wires get pulled somehow. How you have it, it's not a very safe idea. Not saying something will go wrong, but it could. I'd see if I could find a box to fit that's shallow. They're out there.
