Grand theft golf cart: Another niche
on the black market
MARYSVILLE — Last summer, someone stole seven
golf carts from Cedarcrest Golf Course in Marysville,
on three separate nights within a month. Together, the
carts were valued at more than $20,000.
In December, a Snohomish-area man, 33, was charged
with first-degree trafficking in stolen property in Sno-
homish County Superior Court. He’s accused of trying
to sell the swiped carts.
In July, someone cut the chain lock to a fence and stole
two 2014 Yamaha golf carts. The person apparently
tried to steal a third, but left it behind, charging papers
say. An employee said someone took another cart the
week before.
A Marysville officer had a camera installed to try and
catch the perpetrator. But in the early morning of Aug.
2, the burglar apparently cut the electrical cord and
took three more carts, prosecutors say.
Detectives went to Craigslist, there, they found some-
one who had posted an advertisement looking to buy
golf carts. The poster told the detectives he bought
three for $3,300 on the morning of Aug. 2.
The buyer also took pictures of the Ford F-150 pickup
truck and trailer that the seller was driving. The truck’s
license plate was visible.
The detectives looked up the license plate number and
found an address for a house outside of Arlington. No
one was home when they showed up. There was an
ATV that turned out to be stolen from the Snohomish
Golf Course, documents say. Soon, a man drove down
the driveway in a white Ford F-150, like the one in the
buyer’s photos.
The man told the detectives that he had taken part in
all three thefts at Cedarcrest Golf Course, according to
court papers. He said he had an accomplice, too.
He said he would wait down the road while his accom-
plice broke into the golf course, according to docu-
ments. The defendant said he would then help load
the vehicles onto the truck and take them to buyers.
The defendant has been accused of a similar theft in
the past. He allegedly stole two carts from Pacific Golf
and Turf in Snohomish in October 2017. Several wit-
nesses said they saw him cutting a padlock on a gate
and getting into one of the vehicles.
Like the more recent burglaries, the man claimed he
had a partner helping him carry out the crime. But
police couldn’t find any evidence indicating a second
party was involved. He is charged with second-degree
theft and second-degree burglary in that case.
