Mom and I rented a cart earlier this year when we were staying in that area. They told us to leave the cart outside with the keys in it when we left. They might have to change their policy.

If a thief is carrying around keys trying to steal a cart that way, I would think a remote well hidden kill switch would delay a thief and make him move on to the next cart.

...or released on bond.

if bond is posted, one still faces the charges, and these are likely to land criminals way past county jail.

From what we were just told, the rental company told another person that wanted to rent a cart from them to go ahead and pick this one up. Apparently he got the wrong address and picked up this cart by accident.

I am getting concerned about the incidents I'm hearing about
lately. What is going on?

I love it when a case is solved in a day.

It appears this was a misunderstanding and there was not a golf cart theft today.

Still, some good warning posts in this thread to be cautious.
