As someone familiar with the litter at the Tac, (Actually, it's really trash. Litter implies it just laying on the ground) The Golfers are nearly 100% responsible for the full cans on each tee. The other biggest source is the infamous "Tied little Black Bag"

As far as safety goes.
The on course theft was just that the hoodlums sized up the guy(who by the way is always out there) and took his bag that he left as he was playing.

So my suggestions for safety at all courses is

Park in the light, don't leave anything and i mean anything in plain sight!!!!

Keep your phone and bags close.

If you feel uncomfortable with someone or thing grab your shit and move on, You can always come back later.
