The tire lock works well too but I didn’t want to get my hands dirty. lol is it 100% fool proof nothing is. Thieves are looking for a fast easy target, the goal is for them to think twice and move past it.

. The problem with the "Club" to restrict steer wheel movement is it easier and faster to remove with out a key than with a key. Use to Owen a police type tow service recovering cars with clubs. Guaranteed Thhow to do this.
e thieves know

I have a club as well. I use it on the thief who is attempting to steal my cart

This is what I decided on. Very quick to engage and disengage. Simple master lock if you need to replace. Easy install. No storage issues. Made of SS no maintenance. Stops rolling as brake is on. Does not allow fuel pedal to move. I think it is a win win.

We use a kill switch (out of sight) installed by dealer, Ver cheap. Have used it religiously with apparent success. Thieves like to move very quickly without drawing attention.

As I said - very easy to just turn the knob under the seat and put the thing in neutral, and roll it onto a flatbed ramp. To people in the neighborhood they appear to be golf cart repair trucks, picking up someone's cart to bring it to the garage to fix it.

But they're just stealing it. They can load up a few carts on a single truck.

The person hearing the Airtag would have to have a Apple phone with him to hear the beep.

True, but if you see a flatbed heisting a cart fully loaded with golf clubs, chairs, etc at a square or clubhouse SHOULD BE very suspicious.!!

Curious on suggestions for such devices. What are the best items to consider? Thanks.

I added a golf cart alarm to mine three years ago. It works great. Once the alarm is set, if the cart is tampered either the alarm goes off. Try calling Scotty G at 561-662-0319. Line Wolf Cart Alarms.

Just a note on kill switches. Mine failed and stranded me on the MMP at 10 pm.

Your golf cart should be pretty safe if you use your cart exclusively to play golf and then drive it back to your garage and close the door.

That's a good one. Thanks

We utilize three kinds. A kill switch, a motion alarm and a push pad where the key won’t work until you punch in the proper code. (Created by someone at UF) All installed by my hubs. Works for us.

We use a steering wheel cable lock bought off of Amazon. It loops through the steering wheel and then clicks into the seat belt latch. It makes it hard to turn the wheel. Seems to be a good visual deterrent but if someone really wants to steal a cart they’ll find a way.

That golf cart lok (dot com) shown above looks pretty good! Until you go to their site and see they want $250 bucks for it! Yikes. I was interested in it for about $50. $250 is an immediate no-go for me.

We bought something similar for under $20 on Amazon. It took 5 minutes to install.
