When I was a kid MAD magazine had a great cartoon where a Gladys Kravitz looking character was freaking out to her husband.

"Abner! Those damn kids next door are playing with our Color TV box like its a fort!"
"So? Let them have some fun."
"Abner!!! They drug it over to their house!!!"
"So what? The trash is in their yard now."
"But the neighbors will think they got the new color television and not us!!!"

(Abner rolls eyes)

If I was Abner, I'd say "No problem, I'll invite the neighbors over to watch the Superb owl on our new set"....

I remember when I was five years old and my grandmother got a new washing machine.

The appropriated box became the studio of "WIS-TV", with a stepladder as the "tower".

When my daughter Rebecca was two years old, the box to our new Zenith 27" TV became her playhouse!
