I've left golf bags overnight at the practice facility or bag drop (went to the clubhouse for food and drinks, forgot, went home). Got them back.

But here at the villages, Americas friendliest hometown, I hear about theft at the golf course. Kind of sad.
50 times you have forgotten a club on the course? Not once in more than 50 years has any of our eleven golfing family left a club.

Easy system always leave extra clubs on edge of green in direct line of cart or bag. Our second lesson after golf etiquette from my dad at age 6.
