Golf Buggy Thefts

In recent months, golf clubs have been targeted by thieves for the batteries in their golf buggies, which in a lot of instances are kept in the open when not in use or when the course is shut, making it quite easy for any would be thieves to just come along and help themselves. It is unclear whether the thieves are selling the batteries, using them as a source of other illegal schemes or that they are simply ending up at scrap yards due to the lead content of the battery.

Some thieves are well organised and just come along and cut the batteries out, others cause untold damage to the buggy itself which could result in very expensive insurance claims.
