Has anybody tried these as theft deterrent? Thinking about getting one to protect my 13K new golf cart. My question is if you seen anybody trying to knock it off would you suspect something and call the sheriff? Or am I wasting my money cause nobody cares?
I would not just ignore someone who I thought was doing something suspicious or appeared to be having a problem with their cart.

I would (and have on several occasions) approached them to see if they needed any help. Even if it "looked suspicious" I would still ask, maybe from a few steps away depending on appearances. I would not hesitate to call 911 if I felt something was not right.

And I think most people do the same. At minimum take some pictures, cause you never know.

With all that said, I feel there are very few cart accessible locations in TV that present any real threat to cart theft. I know it happens, but with 45,000 carts in use (and that is conservative) even one theft a day is almost negligible.

Our two carts cost us a lot more than we paid to build our first new home so we made sure we have adequate/proper cart insurance coverage. I think most cart owners have done the same.
