I have a lockable golf cart wheel boot that I bought extra when I got one for my wife's cart; I decided not to get me a cart for awhile. $30. PM me if anyone is interested.

Being somewhat cynical, I really do not think it is necessary to buy a golg cart locking device.

If you are parked where there are many other carts and have taken your key with you, a thief just has to look at the carts and will find at least one that the owner has left the key in the cart. He will steal that cart.

Also, by playing the odds you can be mighty sure your cart will not be stolen if you take the key with you. Out of all the carts, it is a very slim chance yours will be one of the very, very few taken by a thief.

Yes, a cart may be taken once in a great while but The Villages is probably the very safest place and most crime free place you can find.

Of course, wherever you live, take normal precautions regarding personal and property safety.

our instructor had hers stolen while parked by the front door of Laurel Manor, no the keys were not in it. They also tried to steal a friend's cart but broke their key off in the ignition.

I guess if you see a cart being loaded on a truck you should try and get the license plate number, take a picture and call 911. Have to make the Villages an unfriendly place for golf cart thefts.

Wouldn't there be surveillance video at the squares and all the gates? Maybe some volunteers could review all the tapes and pass on questionable activity to the sheriff.

Has anyone though about a security system like on a car.
We have both of are carts with them on it, including a start kill systems that will not let them go anywhere when armed.
Also you can have shock sensors put on them so if someone sits on it or hits the cart the alarm will go off.
Just some FYI
