Whats to stop someone from holding a valet sign up, and stealing the carts one by one..... to unsuspecting people.?

They could probably get up to 20 carts before anyone catches on......

We may have insurance, but you also have a deductable, so you still loose.

OMG……What's to stop someone from stealing your cart with a flatbed truck or SUV with trailer while you are in Publix or a restaurant after parking it yourself??????

Or what's to stop somebody with a gas cart coming with a towing strap to tow "home" somebody's electric cart whose batteries supposedly died, but they're actually towing it to thieves who will load it into an unmarked local moving truck.

Well they would have a hard time getting my cart; I have the "club" on the steering wheel, I have 2 ignition cut off switches, I have a "boot" on each wheel, I have 50' of 1/2" case hardened chain that is wrapped around the four roof posts - thru the steering wheel - thru the arm rests on the seat - thru each wheel - around each axle and then fastened to a fire hydrant or tree (using a shrouded padlock!). I also usually take one of the batteries out of the cart and take it into where I am going (a shopping cart certainly makes this easier!).

If by chance they get thru all that; I have Lojack installed with 60 day power supply and I can track down my cart and physically assault the no good thief (although I seriously doubt that will change his ways, a young thief grows up to be an old thief), but I will definitely get my cart back.

I would not use the valet service, as I doubt they would be willing and able to lock it up as good as I can.
