Default Protecting Golf carts when parked

You can look for a motion sensor that will sound an alarm when the cart is tilted or driven.

Might look at alarms for motor cycles for some help.

Try

Amazon.com: motor cycle motion alarm: Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry

to get some ideas.

Suggestion, check with BuggiesUnlimited for locking items. Good site. You can also look at cables and chains, do it because it is happening.

There are some very good car alarms that include the ability to send a message to their remote indicating an alarm condition. This works well for a GAS cart, for an electric cart, you will probably need a DC-DC converter to convert the 36 or 48 VDC to 12 VDC for the alarm. I did not research motorcycle alarms, but that sounds like a very good idea also. Same restrictions for electric carts.

When going to one of the squares, take a small jack and a socket/breaker-bar with you, remove a wheel...and then place the wheel in the audience area.

You've now solved two problems at once.

You've made your cart where it can't be easily stolen...and you've reserved your seat for the entertainment.
