Default Another golf cart stolen in about a week

Cart was stolen in the Village of Collier at about 4am.
Must be the same guys that stole mine,

But they were on camera, reports one cart thru gate and two leaving together at 4 am.

It appears a village resident may be part of the ring if they drove in on a cart.

I haven't heard anything from the police on mine.

That's why I would leave my CAR out and CART in if we didn't have a 2 car garage. Stealing a cart is like shoplifting a paperback book (if they still existed). Leaving a cart out overnight is like saying "come take me" if someone is "shopping" the neighborhood.

Several places where a cart can be driven into TV. Big jump to accuse a villager.

Too easy to steal golf cart when it is parked outside. Pick up truck and ramps is all you need.

A lot of outsiders come into TV on carts, especially around Brownwood.

You would think that the carts would be spotted in Craigslist or Offer Up..? Unless, they are getting them out of the area..

Really? Up in the north end, they trailer their cart to the Publix parking lot on 441, unload and drive all over The Villages. They can do that anywhere or just drive a cart across 441 to SS or 44 Brownwood. There is no security here

From Freedom Plaza on 44 they ride on the grass to the Brownwood Hotel/Advanced Care parking lot. From Beaumont on 466A they come in on Pinellas.

Time to move into a real gated community? It will only get worse from here.

Time for one of those "anti-theft devices" such as the one in the original Robocop movie.

You can install a very advanced GPS in the golf cart. About $10-$15 bucks a month for complete monitoring on your cell phone.

I have actually seen a golf cart scoot across Miller Blvd. It was driven in from Timbertop Ln directly on to Drake Drive entrance.
