Default Cart Theft

Were were here for our closing and I visited several cart dealers.

As a Car Guy I asked what keeps anyone from stealing the vehicle.

Yamaha better dealers install personel keys. Yet all you need to do is put the cart in tow mode and its pushed away.

Best I say was the EZ Go with its electric AC motor brake. Take power away from that and the motor is locked. ALso remove the computer plug and unless a theif has that in hand the cart cannot be moved.

A smart thief can take anything fast.

I would install a fuel shut off that prevents a run and a steering wheel lock.

That said I feel so bad for the people. They must feel violiated. I used to leave the keys in our rentals and I see garage doors open all over the villages.
