After living in Florida for the past 13 years, and after seeing some of the stupid things I am starting to do, nothing surprises me anymore! I am turning into "one of those old, forgetful seniors" and I don't like it at all. I hope that this is all that happened as far as these missing golf clubs are concerned. Maybe the "thief" looked in the garage this morning and saw some odd-looking clubs on his or her cart. Since there are no names on the clubs the "thief" might return them to Mallory Hill. If those were my clubs I would check in with pawn shops in the area, on the chance that the perpetrator was a real crook.

I lost my new 9 iron and I'm heartbroken. Can't imagine losing the whole set! I know I've seen some new cart/club safety inventions somewhere - I'm going to look into it.

All the pro shops at the C.C.'s sell a device to secure both clubs and bag.
I think they are $50.00 - which is 1/4 of the price of a bag alone.

And DON'T park in lots at C.C.'s - Park in the rear where only carts can park.

Sorry to hear stuff like that happening. This happened to me also a couple of years ago at Mallory while having lunch. Here is a picture of how I protect them now. Not fool proof, but should stop the casual grab and go.

Thanks, Pat! I hope so too!

Thanks everyone for all the good advice and good wishes. So far I haven't heard anything but I think I will visit lost and found and a few pawn shops even though the deputy said that the pawn shops have to report everything taken in to the police. I especially like pro shop's comments about the $50.00 safety device for sale and about parking in the back where only golf carts can go. Didn't even think of that....also like the dog guarding the clubs but I don't think my Bichon would scare anyone.

A picture is worth a thousand words
 
Maybe taking a picture of our clubs would help should they become lost or stolen.

I know I keep a picture of my luggage in my phone and when the airline loses it, I can show them the picture and they know what to look for.

Now, I will take a picture of my golf clubs! Just in case!
