The mystery box has been opened!
Inside there are two metal plates with a weight on one end.
On each plate there is a contact point.
It would appear that when the box is moved the contacts open/close to break a circuit (for what?!)

What we see here is a JOC Forum Behaviour Change Tag. Those who fail to comply with JOC rules are required to strap it to part of their anatomy.
