We did get our clubs back, but in Florida you (the victim) have to pay the pawn shop what they paid the crook. My TaylorMade driver was $10 and my friends Callaway was $15.
All I can say is to never let your clubs out of sight. Even on the golf course.
Stolen while playing. Holy Cow, I never considered that was a possibility....

I "lost" mine from the from parking lot of Mallory couple of years ago. They were found down in Ft Myers. I too had to buy them back:
  • Taylormade r7 $35
  • Odyssey putter $15
  • Titliest and Taylor hybrid for $3/each
  • Callaway Big Bertha 3 wood $1
Having the thief who took mine do time and pay me in full to replace missing.... priceless
