Whether you own a golf cart for hitting the course, hunting or personal transportation, it is a sizable investment that needs protection. These vehicles are valuable, which also means they are targeted for theft. Like other recreational vehicles, golf carts are small enough for thieves to haul away in a pickup or trailer, making it easy for them to disappear many miles down the road in just minutes. Here are some golf cart theft prevention tips to help keep your golf cart safe and secure from would-be thieves.

• Store your golf cart indoors. Don’t leave your golf cart outside. Find a place inside your garage or in a storage shed to keep it out of sight and harder to access by thieves. If you don’t have space at your home for indoor storage, consider a rental storage unit.
• Make sure your cart is insured. Contact your insurance company about coverage on your golf cart. It may be covered for theft under your homeowner’s policy, but you may want to add separate insurance for collision, comprehensive and liability.
• Invest in anti-theft devices. Talk to your local golf cart dealer about adding anti-theft devices for your golf cart. There are alarms and other options to protect your golf cart when it is unable to be stored inside or you need to leave it for short periods of time.

Golf carts can sell for thousands of dollars, even used, making them desirable to thieves looking for a quick score. Keeping your golf cart safe and secure can deter many thieves, as will using an anti-theft device or alarm. Protect your golf cart investment by using these golf cart theft prevention tactics to keep it secure and make sure it is insured.
