[Caper]

I just received this notice from a friend and wanted to pass it on.

I just want to let everyone know to use extreme caution when leaving their golf cart unattended at the town squares - particularly Spanish Springs.

Our golf cart was stolen from a lot in Spanish Springs behind the Rialto Theater sometime between 5:30 and 7:00 in broad daylight. The keys to the cart were in my pocket and the glove compartments were locked. According to the officer who took our statement, there has been a rash of thefts (approx. 55) over the past couple of months. They said there is a "ring" operating out of Marion County. While our cart is fairly distinctive, they offered little hope that it will be found.

Since the Daily Sun seems to be remiss in reporting this type of theft or information about this "ring", I thought everyone should know that unless you plan on sitting in your cart at the town square, or parking it where you can keep an eye on it, it may not be there when you get back. Please advise your friends of this.

We will be taking the car to Spanish Springs from now on! At least the car has an alarm!
