Securing your golf cart when not in use is extremely important. Removing the key and parking your golf cart in a secure area like a shed, is ideal. If parked in the driveway, block it in with a vehicle. Suspects responsible for these crimes are typically traveling to golf cart friendly communities and taking advantage of the easily accessible golf carts. Please take extra precautions when securing your property to prevent yourself from becoming a victim.
The following options are also available for you to research what might work best for you:
- Install a unique key switch. Most standard golf carts of the same brand use generic common keys.
- Install a manual disconnect switch. They are usually installed in a hard to find location and some have the capability to install a padlock as well.
- Install a security system that can disable your golf cart via keyfob.
- Install a pedal lock which prevents the accelerator pedal from being pressed by locking it into the upright position.
- Install a steering wheel club. Just like in the automotive market, there are various products available
- A wheel lock boot will prevent your wheels from rolling.
