Anti-Theft Suggestions:
Park vehicles and golf carts in well-lit, high-density, conspicuous areas that are in view of security cameras.
Do not leave keys in a golf cart or other vehicle.
Remove the keys and secure them whenever the vehicle is unattended, even for a short period.
Do not hide keys inside the vehicle. Thieves know to look in popular hiding places.
Use additional security mechanisms if there is damage to a device, enabling it to be more easily tampered with.
Consider installing an audible alarm system or anti-theft device.
Consider attaching a GPS tracker.
Report suspicious activity immediately.
