It's normal for golf carts to come with "universal" keys. Unique keys are often an option. I don't know how anyone could feel secure leaving their cart anywhere if they have a universal key. A couple of years ago there was a rash of thefts from the Mulberry shopping center area. In every case I heard of, the thieves used their own key and drove the cart away. No doubt to a secluded place where they just ramped it up onto a truck.
Also, we've all heard stories of garage doors inadvertently opening. My understanding is it's a common situation observed by community watch. If people have unique keys for their carts, how many leave them in the ignition when they are home?
