If anyone is interested, I have a name of a person who can change the key. Just pm me and I'll pass his name and number on.

I know I'm going to do it...better safe than sorry and I'll do whatever I can to protect my investment. 11 thefts since the first of the year equates to about 4 a month or 1 a week (can you tell I'm a teacher?...lol).

Would be my luck to be one of the 1 a week when I'm there in 6...YES, 6 days for a week!

I posted this before but I think its worth the effort to do it again.We have a 1997 Club Car.To deter someone making off with it I thread a bike lock cable with a combination lock around the seat bracket and thru the steering wheel.It won't stop a determined thief but it will slow them down.A"kill"switch or automotive type key is fine but they can still roll it up onto a trailer.With the steering wheel locked that presents a problem because they can't steer it.Hope this helps out.

Would "The Club" be a good deterrent?

If you hit 'em with it. The Club is a pretty substantial chunk of metal.

If your going to use a bike lock cable on the steering wheel then turn the wheel hard left or right before you lock it .... Those of you who are not engineers ....It can't be pushed forward or backwards.........

I also do crossword puzzles Fumar

I can just see Angelinos puttering along in their golf carts. :joke: How about New Yorkers?

I guess it works like a car alarm, complete with a clicker. Maybe a good thing.
I have this alarm kit and it works great. Takes 3-6 hrs. to install depending on the cart. Custom carts take longer as I have one.
