Stolen Cart: Need GPS Tracker
Hi Everyone,
I have been cruising this site for a couple of months in preparation for buying a golf cart. It was a ton of help and I finally pulled the trigger on a 2015 precedent with the alpha body kit. I had the shop throw on a 600 amp navitas controller last week and I thought life couldn’t get any better. Things took a turn for the worst last night and my golf cart was stolen between 7-9 pm outside a restaurant when it was parked on a busy street. After calling the cops and exhaustive search we posted this to a FB group and some people claim to have seen a truck pulling a trailer with our cart on it. If it was stolen by trailer none of the kill switches or theft deterrents would have been much help unless it was chained to a pole. That is not practical so I am looking for recommendations on a GPS tracking system. I have come to the realization it will most likely come with a monthly service fee, but after having your cart stolen it is a small price to pay. Can anyone offer suggestions on this? Any first hand experience with GPS trackers? Thanks in advance for your help. All the best, Mike |

Just a though, what about these chip you can put on you dog and cats. Also they make a chip for our car keys. Might not be a bad ideal to put chips on utility trailers law mowers etc.

Re: Stolen Cart: Need GPS Tracker
Yes the cart was insured, but I want to have some piece of mind as well. I have come to the realization that you cannot 100% prevent the theft so the next best thing is to catch the people with it. I hate the helpless feeling that someone knows they can get away with it. At least with a tracker hidden on the cart I have a lead on where it might be.
I did research online, but most seem to use the obd ports on cars or run off batteries. None look to be specific for carts so I wanted to see if anyone had first hand experience. Thanks! |

Dang that sucks. I know the feeling. Had a jeep stolen about a year ago but without theft insurance and was never found.
Could you tell us where this happened? Maybe one of us will see it. |

Re: Stolen Cart: Need GPS Tracker
This happened in San Antonio TX. They opened up the downtown neighborhoods to carts a few years back and now they are on every corner. People leave them on the street in front of their house and I have never heard of someone having an issue. I am now warning every one I see about this. I would love to be able to see the idiots who stole it.
