If your cart is stolen by an iPhone user this would let him or her know that the cart is being tracked and I doubt it would take them long to find the tag and toss it in a pond or something.)
That's a shame because I am more worried about my cart (or my purse/wallet/etc.) being stolen than being lost, as I believe the former is more likely to occur than the latter.

In the US, only around 60% of the population have an iPhone verses an Android.
Thinking like a criminal with an iPhone, once I realize I'm being tracked, I figure I have a very limited amount of time to find the tracker or ditch the item with the tracker. If you put it in a difficult to find spot on your golf cart, that would work. No one is going to spend an hour or two going over every inch of a golf cart looking for it. As for your purse, they already ditched the purse, grabbed your wallet, then ditched that and took your cash and cards.
My only caution if used on your golf cart is imagine how many people will get the warning as you drive around!
