After a career in law enforcement, I may not have seen it all, but I've surely seen most of it. The best thing you can do to keep from being a victim is to make yourself a hard target. The vast majority of thieves are opportunists...they take what is readily accessible, and easily obtained.
Whenever I plan on making a stop after a round of golf, I do this:
1. Golf bag is locked to the cart via a heavy cable bicycle lock. Lock it thru the basket or around the roof frame.
2. Put the rain cover on the bag, covering all clubs so they cannot be seen.
3. Lower the carts rain cover over the bag well and golf bags.
Doing these simple things makes you a harder target than the guy who does not take such measures. An opportunistic thief will move on to easier pickings. While it may be a mild hassle to do all this to secure your property, it is much less aggravating than having to replace expensive clubs.
