So I don't know if they was trying to steal the car but ran off when the alarm came on or they was just trying to grab whatever they could out of the car. I attached a pic of how they got in I don't know if this happened to anyone before, but it crazy how doing this allows the doors on a 20k car to just open up.

All that was missing from my car was some cologne.

maybe they really needed some smell good.

Be glad they didn't succeed in stealing it...like they did with mine.

Yeah that's what I did for now.

That would tick me off....I wonder if someone has made a little color matched plug to attach in there to cover it?

Sucks that happened , But all in all you got off pretty easy , Heck they did not even scratch the paint, Still freakn Jerks

My F150 lock looked just like that and it cost nearly $500 to get it fixed. Trim, lock cylinder and some type of internal stay plus paint.

That bites but glad it wasn't worse. Most likely looking for electronics like radar detectors, GPS, phones or whatever.

If you remove the key-hole and the battery dies, you cannot get into the car without outside professional assistance.

omgitsmikeyC · 07-13-2014, 06:00 AM

He could always add a remote button release for the outside of the car and hide it under the car, but after a few people see it, it's open season on your belongings.

DRKnight1SS · 07-13-2014, 06:12 AM

That really sucks sorry to hear this. At least you are able to joke about it some. It could have been a lot worse that's for sure. Good luck in getting it fixed and back to normal.

Good news! I have invented a car-entry aid that I call a "brick".

Lol try waking up one morning and your month old Camaro is actually gone....Im really glad to hear that was the "least" of it!

Sometimes thieves do this just to get your address and find out where your car sleeps and then stalk you until you are not home or sleeping. Break into the house and steal the keys.

This exactly the reason I never leave any valuables in my car.
