Exclamation Golf Clubs Stolen at Havana Golf Shop

Thursday afternoon when the rain began, my husband came back in to the golf shop at Havana to get a voucher. Unfortunately, nothing is safe anywhere.

Thief lifted up the golf cart flaps, tossed the cover of my friends iron onto the ground. my husband was not so lucky. Thief took the 6, 7 & 8 iron out of his bag. Makes no sense. Why take 3 irons? had some desirable woods and putter. Now the set is useless.

Wish they had cameras, love to find out what deplorable would do such a thing!

Lock your stuff up Villagers! Nothing is safe these days!

Since you wanted Villages with no pets (Thread: Should there be villages with no pets?), I'm betting it was a dog.

Find it odd just 3 clubs were taken. Quicker to take the whole bag. Set isn’t useless, many play with multiple different club sets. If you contact the company all 3 clubs can be replaced, if newer set. eBay would be next choice. Call any resale shop in area, they might end up there, like play again sports. They have tons of clubs, most useless but never know.

A set is NOT useless because a few irons were taken. Seriously?

That's for sure ! I feel bad for the person if this was legit post, but made me wonder if this is another one of those folks who really enjoy making questionable posts and then sitting back to enjoy the "answers"... ? ? ? A set is "useless" if 3 irons are missing ? Useless if you loose one yourself ? Story sounds a little strange, but yes, the villages is huge these days and the population very diverse. It's not some warm, fuzzy, little town any more. I do agree it would be very interesting to have more video cameras, but that's probably out of the question financially.

Again, instead of commiserating, the usual suspects resort to (in their minds) humor. They just think they are soooo clever. I think some of them were dropped on their heads as children and never progressed beyond that age intellectually.

OP - Im sorry this happened. Yes, there is crime everywhere even in the bubble. You have gotten some good advice - those individual clubs can be replaced, so the set isnt useless. They probably dont rise to your deductible limits on your homeowners policy, so insurance isnt going to help. File a report, check the sales. Move on after learning a valuable lesson.
Im frankly amazed at the dollar value of clubs sitting unsecured in the backs of carts all over the villages and surprised there isnt more theft.
