It’s just pretty sad that someone 55 & older would still be stealing anything. It might be a younger person that’s doing the stealing. You would think someone would have a fool proof way to protect what’s theirs. Like they have on cars a siren that sounds off if the car is touched. Sad world!

2. Put the rain cover on the bag, covering all clubs so they cannot be seen.
3. Lower the carts rain cover over the bag well and golf bags.

Good common sense things, but some golfers are jus ready for a new set of clubs.

I have a friend who left his clubs on his cart and his wife took the cart to a rec center. She then noticed the clubs were still on the cart. She called her husband and he took the car to get the clubs. Upon removing the clubs from the cart and placing them into the trunk a sheriff’s car pulled up to see if a thief had been caught. He was very pleased that each club had a name tag taped upon the shaft to prove ownership. He thanked the deputy and the deputy thanked him.

I'm going to get the cable lock system. If a thief wants to break into my stuff, and goes through the trouble of dealing with the cable, he/she will be pretty disappointed at finding my sorry-a$$ clubs under there.

OP, I'm sorry for your hassle. When I was in college, living in a crappy neighborhood, I learned some folks will steal anything. I had someone break into my VW Beetle to steal my ice scraper. Whoever did that will burn in hell. I had one of those little hibachi charcoal grills, that back in the '70s cost all of $10. Mine was coated with years of crusty black chicken fat because I never cleaned it. Someone stole it, along with my porch swing.
Nothing surprises me when it comes to petty thievery.

I was at Havana after finishing a round on Friday the day after your clubs were stolen, and wanted to eat at the Clubhouse but the parking was out of eyesight so I moved on. I had a feeling that clubs may have been stolen there if you can't see your cart.

LOL, I guess you’re right!

I guess there's always tying a mean Rottweiler on a 10-foot leash to your cart:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Actually, a few years earlier than the hibachi incident, at a different school, also in a bad neighborhood, I left my dog on a line on my front porch. When I got home from class he had a "visitor" pinned in a corner. It was nobody I knew, and nobody who should have been on my porch.
I held the dog so he could leave, but I told him he was really lucky because my dog had "messed up" a few people who had tried to break in once. It was a made up story, but that dog could bark and snarl and growl like crazy.

It seems like the person just wanted to create havoc and ruin the set of clubs rather than actually steal them. It doesn't make sense to take three clubs.

"It doesn't make sense to take three clubs."

I agree.

The more I think about it, the more I believe (as I mentioned earlier) that they were grabbed to chip a ball just off of the green and then left on the course. Sure would be nice if the OP wrote back and said they checked the lost and found at Havana, as most golfers are honest and I believe would have turned them in. Then again, that would require an admission of being incorrect about the charge of them being stolen - and a lot of people are reluctant to that kind of admission. Oh well, along with what really happened at Roswell...we'll probably never know. LOL

Bad word to use: Useless. Does have a problem. You can not go into a golf shop and buy indivudual irons, except for wedges. Lost a 7 iron once and could not buy an indivudual 7 iron.

Some good cables cost more than some sorry ass clubs.
