stolen golf cart
Our fitness instructor found that her cart was stolen last Sat. parked by the door at Laurel Manor in the morning. They also tried to steal my friend's cart but broke the key off in the ignition. This Sat. the instructor still does not have her cart, with no leads. She has insurance but there is the deductible and depreciation.
After golf yesterday, we tried our keys in the other Yamahas that were with us and none worked, which is good. I wonder if there is a skeleton key that these scum bags use. I guess we need to keep an eye out for any unusual behavior. The police told the instructor that it would be a good idea to take pics of our carts on all sides and the interior. |
Put a hidden kill switch to stop these kinds of crooks

I lock my cart 100% of the time with this....

For as long as I can remember, there have been golf cart thefts in The Villages. When we stop after playing golf, we try to leave ours in a spot where we can keep an eye on it.

I don't know if there are any statistics kept on stolen golf carts in The Villages It does happen and it pays to be diligent ----sometimes they are found.
OP, thanks for reporting this theft. I've been told that it is fairly easy to do if you know what you are doing. |

I read somewhere that there are about 15 different key cuts for the Yahamas. I would guess that is about the same for the other brands.
Since the carts are not registered, unless street legal, they are hard to find if they go astray. I wish that when we pay our trial fees we were given a sticker to identify our cart as paid. It could be kind of an internal registration system for The Villages. (Of course a sticker could be peeled off etc.) But some type of registration system would be a good idea. |
The problem with the kill switch is that the thieves know about them, so not much of a deterrent. We just ordered "clubs" for our carts.
