One evening at Sumter Landing I saw a cart with a wheel boot attached to the FR tire. It was a little mini version of the boots you might see in urban areas used to impound or repo an automobile.
My first thought was that it was being repo'd, but then I thought it was for theft prevention. Pretty slick. |

We noticed a whole lot more people leaving their carts outside their homes at night almost like bait. Sort of make you wonder if these wise owls I'm surrounded by have a plan. And that was a compliment. Can't wait to see the outcome.

I know a spot in Brooklyn when we were kids when if you needed to get your car stolen, it would get stolen. Of course we took two cars and partied back home in one. [emoji3] |

[QUOTE=dirtbanker;1384818]Well a little prevention goes a long way...I have a 50' length of 3/8" hardened chain and 2 padlocks in my cart. Every time I park it (even to just run in for a second); I run the chain through all 4 wheels, through both arm rests and the steering wheel. I then wrap it around a tree or fire hydrant. To this day, my cart has never been stolen!
My wife gets a little aggravated with the amount of time I spend finding a parking spot that will accommodate this procedure, and she gets annoyed at how much time I spend chaining or un-chaining, but I assure her it is definitely less time than it would take us to walk home drunk. Quote:
With so many silver gray cars styled nearly alike, we have gotten into wrong cars so is it possible the "stolen" golf carts were taken by mistake??? |

If you want your cart recovered A GPS tracker is 89.00 and a service fee of 9.00 a month. Is it worth it to you? Most people don't think so. It will tell you the address where the cart is any LEO would love this level of detail. It is like a Christmas gift to them. Here you go, there are the Theives!

Since I wired the GPS on a yamaha,I saw how the ignition was wired. I can drive any of them away in less than 90 seconds. Chain, kill switch, club all work. Tracker is the least obtrusive if you have a spouse who doesn't want to perform the same security measures.

I just bought a Bulldog security system for my golf cart, but haven't installed it yet.
A neighbor saw one installed on another cart in the Villages recently, and told me about it. The company seems to have gone out of business, but these are available on ebay and other places. I got mine on ebay for $19.99.+ $6. shipping. It has one wire lead that attaches to the + battery, and an alarm that makes a loud noise if anyone messes with your cart. It comes with a fob similar to a car fob, with buttons to activate the alarm etc. We (with same neighbor) have tried installing it, but haven't figured it out yet. Please does anyone know about installing these devices? Thanks in advance.

GPS doesn't fling dog poop but it does tell me the address where the cart is and can text me if the cart exceeds a speed limit that I select. Load the cart in a trailer and drive off? I know about it and where the perp is.

Ooh, Toymeister, please share the name of the device. I was going to get a "Tile" for mine. Thanks.
