No, not in a golf cart. It must be a street legal LSV.

466A is a county road, so no. Street legal is a different story. Already saw a clueless villager with his cart at Culvers.

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.

There is no punishment for criminals anymore.

I doubt that. If u live outside the villages it’s unlikely you’d be able to use a golf cart. You’d have to be on main roads and cart ti be road legal. Very few if any non villagers meet that criteria. Unless you’re trucking in a golf cart specifically to go in snd steal other carts. But why bother. Anyone can buzz thru gate.

Sorry for you. We had our cart stolen during the day while parked at Colony Recreation Center. No keys left in ignition and glove boxes locked. In trying to make an insurance claim, we called police and began the process. The most important thing I can suggest is take pictures of your NEW cart. We had trouble describing our 2 year old cart to the insurance company. We had items in the glove boxes that were supposed to be covered too. When we bought our new cart, we installed a kill switch and now we try not to worry. Ask your insurance agency what you need to provide for the claim. We had to send both sets of keys, a picture of the cart (which we did not have except from a model), and miscellaneous other items. Good luck!

How long ago was the Colony Cart theft?

If you lived in a village on the Wildwood border you would see them coming in. They ride on the grass and sidewalk and scoot across Powell Rd/ 462.

Golf cart companies can get these prices because there’s a big market for them in TV. But I do agree with you!

Are you sure it was a "Villager." There are a lot of homes back there and I have seen a cart at Starbucks a couple times and spoke to the driver. He said he was from the home development back there.

Yikes! I always park mine in the garage so in that sense I'm a little relieved. I always wondered if they were safe out in a store parking lot during the day while running errands. Obviously take your valuables with you or lock them up in glove compartment. The thefts are just something to be mindful about now after reading this.

OY! It was a J O K E. Lighten up. If I insulted your paper back book collection I do apologize. And no, you can't find them EVERYWHERE. When I was a Jr High kid you'd find the erotic novels in "candy stores." Can't find Candy stores with erotic paperbacks anywhere.

On camera- is there a description of the criminals?

Can that be asked?

May means possibly. Bogie Shooter did nothing wrong.

There are many articles of police responding to a owners report of a stolen vehicle of any type that was located with an airtag. Also reports of dummy owners getting severely beaten trying to retrieve their car/bike or whatever by themselves.

Just a few examples a simple Google would find:

and this for the dummy DIY'er:
