IMHO, a really noisy alarm, and the radio based alert should keep the thieves away from your cart. This was also asked on the experts section, and if I recall, the expert had indicated that he was looking for a good unit for the electric carts, there was no mention for gas carts.
You also have the option of replacing the key with one that is individually keyed, and a hidden switch to stop starting the cart.
Hope this helps.

A hidden kill switch is the way to go.
As for installing alarms, I think that they are pretty much useless at best...and completely annoying at worst.
I mean how many of us even bother to look anymore, when some car alarm in the parking lot is wailing?
