How to prevent golf cart theft

A motivated thief may try to steal an item regardless of what anyone does to keep it safe. The best anti-theft measures discourage thieves from being able to make a quick score. Consider what security measures are best for your situation. Here are some ways to prevent golf cart theft:

• Implement golf cart anti-theft devices: In addition to physical locks and key changes, you can also upgrade the security of your golf cart by implementing a kill switch, GPS tracker or a motion detecting spotlight.
• Use a golf cart cover: If you keep your golf cart outside, covering it can deter theft.
• Store in a garage or shed: If the garage or shed remains locked, the most secure way to store your golf cart is in an outbuilding.
• Be thoughtful about where you park: Parking your golf cart where you can see it or in a well-trafficked public location is your next best solution for golf cart theft prevention.
