Over the years clubs and carts have been stolen all over the Villages. The guys down in Bushnell do their job and a big percentage of the time, get the clubs and arrest the bad guys.

Title of this thread implies all hell is breaking loose.
From the OP:

"Deputies stated this happens all the time, but people think they lost their clubs or someone mistakenly grabbed their clubs. More times than not, they are being stolen!!!"

Maybe it's becoming a bigger problem...

Regardless, unless I'm going straight home and not stopping for lunch, I pull the locking cover over my clubs and re-lock the cable... I typically leave the cover locked to the frame and stuffed in the cart basket... Takes all of 30 seconds. The key to the cable lock is on the keychain with my cart key.

If I'm not playing golf, the clubs come off the cart and are stored in the garage.

Are my methods foolproof? Probably not, but why make it easier for a thief? Let them move on to the next cart with the unsecured clubs...
