I ordered it off the internet. The end that goes around the brake pedal doesn't fit my pedal, so I use a heavy piece of chain around the pedal and hook the club to the chain. The complicated looking end goes through the steering wheel.

In the past there have been some instances of stolen golf carts. One was a villager's son who was taking them apart and selling the parts. One was a guy who lived in a nearby trailer park and they caught him.

I have left my cart with the key in it accidentally, always have a couple of decent golf gloves and jackets in it, often parked it with clubs untethered. Never had anything taken.

So I am assuming there is a new jerk who should get a real job who may be on the prowl. Wonder if they have cameras at Laurel Manor, I doubt it.

I was there at the same time, Helene and I take a Ceramic Class there every Saturday morning. Hope they reported it stolen right away.

THEY WILL GET HIM...or her. We have some awesome law enforcement around here.

Uber: Better take care with units like this! Ships from Hong Kong; sketchy install instructions; only works with GSM network (via SIM card) not GPS; less than raving customer reviews & videos. At $15 it might just be one of those "too good to be true", or worth it, items. To me, Lojack is the standard, so anything else needs to work at least as well as that product, via GPS, or better to get any consideration. Any package that comes in at $250 or so, or less, on an annual basis for the device plus any service costs is probably what I'll go with.

From all the locations mentioned they are using a trailer to put them on. All they need to do is take the brake off and push it onto the trailer.

They also need to be able to steer it.

Dear bad guy, if you want to get into a new business, here is all the info you need. Thanks DP!

The club can be easily defeated….just cut the steering wheel with a hack saw blade and it’s gone. Takes about 10 seconds. Better try a hidden kill switch.

[laportjm]

What kind of cart do you have. Just ordered from Internet, hope it fits

[Bay Kid]

Good insurance and enjoy life without all the worry.

Our Club Car has a 4 digit code needed to start with the key in.

Still wouldn't stop someone rolling it onto a trailer though.

After golf yesterday, we tried our keys in the other Yamahas that were with us and none worked, which is good. I wonder if there is a skeleton key that these scum bags use.

I guess we need to keep an eye out for any unusual behavior. The police told the instructor that it would be a good idea to take pics of our carts on all sides and the interior.

They hot wire it
