Due to the large number of golf carts in the Villages and surrounding areas (est 70-80,000) we are a prime target for cart thefts i.e. several per week. And since the majority of carts are not registered, very few are recovered and returned to their owner. Here are some recent articles detailing the golf cart thefts in the area:
