Laura 17 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 A lady Named Debbie Bernard Frame posted a couple hours ago that her golf cart charger was stolen last night. She is in the 600 loop. We stayed a few weeks ago with two golf carts and two chargers and did not lock anything up at all with no problem. I guess timing is everything. Lock up your stuff I guess.Sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 777 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Usually it is out of sight, out of mind. However, with all the locals running in and out of there, this is not surprising and not the first time it has happened either. It is sad that people have to resort to taking things that don't belong to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen numerous people that leave the charger out in the open by the road, that's just asking for trouble IMHO, several of them were in 600. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 We only charge our cart when we're home. Maybe we're being overly-cautious, but at least so far we haven't had to replace a charger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 We had some chargers stolen at the lake and I'm going to weld a door under the back seat with a lock to keep the charger safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 We always chain the charger to the cart. Just not worth taking the chance for the few minutes it takes to put it on. Especially when there's a pretty good market for chargers. Gold Doubloon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 We are here now and this year we have run into much more less desirable individuals than in the past. People have been much more rude and shady but I guess you always see this kind more at holidays and peak times. We never bring the charger to the marina since I heard that's just asking for it to be stolen djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caveat lector 181 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Kenny says it happens all the time. His advice was to use common sense and make it as difficult as possible.I guess if the scum bags want it bad enough, and you're not on site, they are going to get it.

Were you looping around 2:45 in the afternoon through the Settlement? I saw your cart, but you were too far away for me to get your attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep - because most thieves are lazy and will move on to an easier target if you make it harder for them. We've also been known to cram the dirty towel we use to wipe off the dogs back near the charger too. Heck, *I* don't want to touch that thing and they're my dogs.

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 The people next door to us had their charger on the ground next their cart, right by the road. They were asking for it to be taken. We noticed a lot of people who forgot their manners this time around. Along with a group of people who thought they owned the road in the 400 loop. Made faces and comments at us every time we looped this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our cart is one of a kind and hopefully you don't see another one like it. Your not camping here are you? I though your next visit wasn't until 2014 or 2015 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Not with me, I'm still in the Atlanta area, but he may be in hot water with other Fiends. I did see Curt. But it was unplanned and I didn't see anyone else, except possibly starbuc from across the Settlement. Looked around a bit for Annie but wasn't sure where she was. Do not have a smartphone so couldn't post or check online. And Lorna and Richie had to cancel. So.....who else am I in trouble with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Mostly me. I posted my site number where I am supposed to and my sign and purple flamingos were out. I wanted an Anna hug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 But I did get a total bonus, but I can't tell you about it. I have to wait for them to post. It was a good one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 There are reports out on the interwebz of more shenanigans at the Fort this weekend, including some comfort station doors being kicked in and broken. Seriously, What. The. Fort?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is twice we were in close proximity and failed to get Anna's arms around you. Although this time it may have resulted in you catching the plague. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, What. The. Fort?? I know I will probably upset some of the Florida "FIENDS", but what we have observed over the past couple years is when the "WEEKEND WACKO's" (the locals) show the place gets crazy. That is when we see rules being totally ignored. Starts on Thursday night and ends on Sunday usually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think I will be glad I didn't get plague. When I am sick, there is no one to take care of me. Here's a hint to who I saw. Think of a saying from a ride at Magic Kingdom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
