Here's an arguable point: Some people feel that, due to their type of construction, golf cart tires can have a tendency to 'flat spot' if the cart sits in one place for long periods of time. A couple of different ways to address this:

- Have a neighbor/friend/home watch person periodically take your cart out for a ride, long enough to get the tires 'warm' (ie. not just around the block).

- Put the cart up on 4 jack stands so the tires are off the ground.

Or, if you're on the other side of the coin with your perspective, don't do anything - just let things be!

If you think a 'lived in look' gives you a better feeling that your home will be secure, buy a timer or two for a couple of interior lights......perhaps timers that can slightly vary the on-and-off times so that they're not so predictable every day. Along the same line, have a neighbor/friend/home watch person pick up any materials left in your driveway, on your front door step, etc.
