Thanks!
The best way and most factual way to answer your question is to get a crime grid from Sumter County(most populated county in The Villages) Any other information is anecdotal and not objective.

Someone told me there were high theft rates and other neighbors did not concur with him.

I am more concerned about someone stealing my clubs than my golf cart. Golf cart is identifiable(has VIN). Make sure you buy insurance which does cover theft on the golf cart and take reasonable precautions. In our case the theft deductible for the golf cart is less than our homeowners theft deductible.

If you have a two car garage and 2 cars and a cart, park cart indoors and leave one of the cars outside.
