They gave me handicap placards.

Problem for me is this. I am so afraid someone will steal the placard on my golf cart when I am at Publix or at the restaurants.

I have no clue how to secure the placard. Been looking for wired locks, acrylic enclosures, chain bags that hang.

Funny thing is I think i am not worthy of the placard so most times I just deal with it and walk. You could cut off my left small toe and I probably wouldn't know it, but I drive with the right leg.

Any ideas? I am getting a new Yamaha golf cart next month and I would like to have the choice to use the placard when I think I need it without thought that it will be stolen.

Sorry for any typos.
If you have a decent quality color printer copy both sides of the placard and tape them together with clear shipping tape. Do a nice and neat job.Your handicap golf cart placard will be solid enough to hole punch and put a C- Clip through so it can be hung from the rear view mirror. Your handicap ID number is thus prominently displayed. If a policeman after reflection decides he just needs to write a ticket show up in court with the original placard. My bet is no fine. That is what I do having two cars and only two placards. No problems in two years.
