EdFNJ....paper back books still exist of course. Much prefer a paperback book than a kindle. And you can find them anywhere.

Golf carts are legal on city roads in Wildwood.
Sec. 12-155. - Operation of golf carts on public city roads.

(a)Authorization to operate golf carts on public city roads. Golf carts meeting the definition set forth in section 12-152 may be operated on all public city roads where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less.

That is why I wrote "Maybe these people were released from jail" with a smiley face.

But if you goggle, you can find more recent reports about stolen carts.

How many are stolen that aren't reported on the forums?

Paying almost up to 20,000 for golf care and no standard anti theft, transmission lock, steering wheel lock as found on the least expensive motor vehicle. A base price Nissan Centra 20,600 with air conditioning.

When outside your Blue Tooth Range, the Find My Network is used to find the general area that the airtag is located (similar to find a specific contact). This works at Great Distances" . Once you get close, it can switch to bluetooth for an exact (close to) location. AitTags would be useless for anything other than find my keys is it were limited to 35 feet.

Regardless of the class and distance, Bluetooth is not the sum of an AirTag, and both Find My and ultra-wideband are designed to help where Bluetooth can’t. For example, when outside of the Bluetooth range, the Find My network can be used to find the general area of an AirTag, making it possible to initially locate a lost or missing item from great distances. Once within range, Bluetooth can take over. Then, when within a close enough distance of the device, the short-range ultra-wideband helps to ensure the exact location of an AirTag can be identified, even when Bluetooth is having issues pinpointing the item.
