If the frequency is common to a couple of sites then I hope they are installing security cameras and also considering setting up some sort of sting with premium clubs being monitored by camera and an undercover authority. Catch a few of these jerks, publish the results so others will think twice.
Make sure you check websites like Craigs List Ocala, Orlando and others for your stuff. I hope it is a dirt bag outsider rather than a Village resident.
Good luck
Hasn't hapened that often but does happen, probably more are stolen and not reported.
The crooks have been caught in the past. Yes, it was in the Daily Sun. Doubt that putting it in the paper will deter future thefts.
Who pays for the security cameras?
Biggest deterant is cover your clubs or lock them up.
Drive around either of the squares and you will see clubs on the back of the carts with those nice Cobra, Callaway,etc. head covers just advertising "here I am".
No wonder they get stolen.
