Any player can drag an non-hitched cart in the wilderness, regardless of whether or not it's locked. Correct [[Settlement|deed]] settings and local security will help prevent carts being dragged away, as will keeping animals hitched or having it above the weight possible to be dragged.
'''Important''': Permissions only take effect when the cart is locked with a [[small padlock|small]] or [[large padlock]] and '''anyone''' can attach one to enable the permissions. The lock can be removed by anyone in possession of the key. Another player that cannot normally access the cart will gain full inventory and drive permissions as if they were added to the settings should they attach a lock. To this endOlder carts may not have locks attached; however, '''it's important to lock your own cart as soon after all newly created carts are locked upon creation as possible'''.
On [[Freedom]] carts cannot be [[Lockpicking|lockpicked]] unless except by the owner. Attempting to do so will result in the following warning: ''Stealing carts is punished with death penalty here. You decide not to''.
