Well a little prevention goes a long way...I have a 50' length of 3/8" hardened chain and 2 padlocks in my cart. Every time I park it (even to just run in for a second); I run the chain through all 4 wheels, through both arm rests and the steering wheel. I then wrap it around a tree or fire hydrant. To this day, my cart has never been stolen!

My wife gets a little aggravated with the amount of time I spend finding a parking spot that will accommodate this procedure, and she gets annoyed at how much time I spend chaining or un-chaining, but I assure her it is definitely less time than it would take us to walk home drunk.

One time I thought our cart was stolen, but she remembered we had parked in a different lot...
