golf clubs stolen

wilkinsm1 · 09-30-2011, 04:30 PM

My golf clubs were stolen today from my golf cart in the Mallory parking lot. We had played Bacall and were eating lunch at Mallory and came out to find my clubs gone. Nobody elses' were taken. The manager and others at the golf shop were so helpful...one of the ambassadors drove all the way back to Bacall to see if they hadn't fallen out. Filed a police report,etc. I didn't have my name on the clubs or on my bag...shame on me! Also, the officer said that we should write down the serial numbers of the clubs as that info solved a case for him...the clubs showed up in Maryland. So if anyone sees a Nancy Lopez navy blue bag with a mixture of Lopez and Adams clubs, let me know here please. (If for some reason there was some kind of mix up and the clubs were taken by accident) There was a tournament going on so there was a lot of confusion in the parking lot.

I'm really sorry about your clubs. Hopefully it was some sort of a mix up and you get them back.

Did you have the cover on your bag?

I tell all my friends to watch their clubs.....I really miss that little golf cart that had the locking trunk even more now!.....I walk when I play and I even take the clubs in the restroom with me when I have to make a pit stop, I know, I know, I'm a nut case...

I'm sure the theft rate rises during snowbird season!

Thanks!

No, I didn't. My friend did and hers weren't taken.

I am sorry that happened to you. This is exactly what my husband and I were afraid of so my husband bought some cable wire and wired it in and around both of our golf bags in the cart and locked it with a key. It may not be 100% full proof but it has prevented theft. We also have a cart with an alarm system on the key.

I am VERY careful with my golf clubs. I won't eat anywhere I can't see them or I take them home first.

I do not want to know whether Sweetie is more protective of me or his golf clubs.

I am not going to ask.

I am so sorry your clubs were stolen. I would like to find the dreadful person and beat him up.

I'm with you, Gracie.....Hubby has to be able to see the cart and clubs or we eat at home! Waughhh! I like the idea of the wire and lock......it's a shame that we can't feel safe here. I hope the clubs are returned but if it WAS an intentional theft I hope the robber has a lousy game with those sticks. More than likely they will turn up in a pawn shop. Good suggestion, too, about the serial numbers. I don't really know if mine have any! We DO have our names on them but I bet they would be ripped off in a hurry if a bag of crack was at stake. This makes me hungry for revenge! I think I need a bowl of ice cream after reading these posts. I'm hoping when I check back later I find that the clubs were returned. Weird things happen at our ages and I guess some senile person could have driven off with the whole cart. (Many of those cart keys ARE interchangeable, you know!)

Oh my gosh, Sweetie, Mike told me what happened! I'm so sorry! I do hope that they were just taken by accident and by tomorrow morning, the clubs will be returned to the pro shop.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I love my clubs too. When we stop to eat or use the ladies lounge, we always keep our clubs within view or someone is babysitting our bags.

Last week here in Ca, several cars were broken into at our country club, computers, money and clubs were stolen. The economy is tough, people are desperate or simply thieves. No excuse to steal period.

Once again, sorry for your loss.

I hope they turn up. Sorry for the loss.

Good luck on the recovery of your clubs. I drove by there, and there were a lot of people in and around the parking lot due to the tournament. I hope that someone just picked up the wrong bag by mistake. Keep us posted if/when you get them back. Also you might want to keep checking in case they fell off your cart and someone turns them in. I think Laurel Manor is the center of Lost and Found.

There was the funniest post some while back where someone had done just that...sure wish I could remember the title it was a hoot and I guess very easy to do!!!!!
