Philanthropy during a national power failure: a snag

Suppose the whole of the UK's electricity generation and distribution went tits up, and took ages to fix. Those who had their own sources of electricity (genny, solar panels, whatever) might feel that they should allow their neighbours* to charge up their 'devices'. So you could possibly rig up a row of 13A sockets in your porch or somewhere and tell people that the power will be available during certain hours. But when they came back to collect their 'devices' they might find that someone else had stolen their device.* Obviously this sort of neighbourliness doesn't exist everywhere.
