Once again my H2 got messed with while I'm at the gym. The bastards gained entry through the passenger-side door handle. They found my wallet and took nothing else. I'd like to thank GM for saving themselves $10 in metal and giving so charitably to the poor in making such an easy vehicle to break into.

Can someone, aside from the jokes, direct me to any real solutions to this? In particular, some powder-coated black metal plates that attach over the plastic?

Thanks SteveR for showing the rest of the criminal element that might not have thought of this route yet, a perfect diagram on where to access to pop the lock.

So you like the idea that there is now a diagram on the web showing dirt bags how to break into your ride!!

Solution: Delete the diagram post?

I have been working with Jimmijammer to get these constructed for the H2. There is a beta set on the way to me. Once they arrive, I will take installation photos and check fitment as these have never been installed on an H2.

If anyone lives in Pheonix area, I may need your help if I run into issues. If this is the case, there will be a free set for your troubles. Please chime in if you are in area and interested.

Well okay then. It's been a while and you'll have to remember I ain't no "D"....but let me take a shot at it:

I-Bitch, you ignorant delusional (and here comes my favorite) scrotum-sucking rectal wart, you take the cake for being the biggest Fu(ktard to read the pages of this forum. Were you delivered through someones anus into this world? Cause your head is obviously stuck up into the very same well-used cavity. Now here are some nasty faces for you:

I don't have the time, so just imagine some disgusting picture and verbal insert pasted here.

Real criminals already knew, and in the end it just saves some broken glass. They've been breaking into GM cars like this for decades...you really think that picture is gonna spawn a wave of Hummer-related crime? Shut your pie-hole and go back to fingering your prostrate.

Thanks Klaus & Phil....in a sea of Hummer uncertainty you guys are always there!

LMFAO. Dont you EVER go on another posting hiatus again Steve.

Ooh you are soo E- Tough. Grow a little thicker skin dude, nobody was bagging on you. I think you need to spend a little more time at the gym before you start bringing that Sh*t talking stuff to the table, and you spend the good part of tomorrow sh*tting out broken tooth enamel you swallowed after I kick your fronts in kid.

Wow I feel sooo E- Tough now like Steve

Why delete the pic then???

No answer???

Oh must finishing up a set.

BTW ??Did ya report the incident to the parking lot security at Womens Workout World??

At least my conception didn't involve a clobbering hole in the wall in a truckstop bathroom stall.

Oh no, I'm being attacked on the fourm

Don't make me go mega-Novel on your ass...cause I will (ask anyone)!!!!!!!

Mellow out kiddo, I'm not offended by your post...just entertaining the boys. It's like walking into a bathroom and swatting the first ****-eating fly that hovers near.

Theres those threats again.

No, it involved a gay fraternity, a retarded crack-whore, several single dollar bills and a wild boar named "Mr. Happy"

And what do you care if people should learn how to break into Hummers: you don't even own one!

And the references to the gym? I-bitch, I've lost more muscle tissue on one of my bike rides then you'll ever have. I used you for entertainment traction, get over it. And try to be more interesting, your replies aren't even close to funny.

Wow, you are pure comedic genius!

The spin class at Women's Workout World does not really count as a bike ride.

Yeah I don't own a Hummer. I just to buy Hummer stuff from forum members just because I'm bored and not interesting at all.

Funny? was not even trying.

You might look into maybe a dietican if you are losing muscle tissue during work-out's. Unless that's some new bodybuilding regimine or something.

How about that, I still "got it"

What threw me off was your 5 replies in a row, smacks of pretencious kid. My bad, I suppose you're the real deal. Perhaps I'm a tad irritable after those bastards made off with about $500 and my drivers license...there's nothing funny about having your car broken into. And posting the pic is so others can see what is being done and how to perhaps prevent it. I sincerely doubt these low-life thieves use the internet or learn stuff from it.

As for muscle loss....depends who you talk to. After riding for a couple hours and pushing hard, your creatine-phosphate and glycogen storage is fairly depleted....many say the proteins in your muscle tissue begin to breakdown and you essentially start "burning muscle". I ride a mountain bike 3x per week, ascneding some 2,400 feet over the course of nearly 2.5 hours....there ain't a woman in a spinning class who could keep up with me.

I weight-train 3x per week as well. I only wish I could have caught those slimeballs breaking into my H2...now there's a fantasy!

I think your dopprlganger has been keeping the masses warmed up for you.

How's that mid-life going?

Sorry to hear that Happened to me few months ago too

http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/5106011751/m/8...151069141#8151069141

While I don't have a solution to the door handle problem. I did install an aftermarket alarm so at least it will go off, unlike the factory alarm And since nobody pays attention to alarms going off nowadays, I installed the siren inside the cabin. I figure no thief in the right mind would want to stay in there and risk his hearing + not aware what's going on outside.. And for outside, instead of the common pulsing horn, mine is steady on - it's loud and annoying so it get's attention

Steve,

I did not see this "diagram" that is mentioned, but based on what you described, mine was similarliy broken into on the driver's side. The key entry was forcably pried which also cracked the black plastic backing. Upon getting it replaced at the dealer it was advised by Service to have the plastic backing replaced in chrome. The estimate for that was $500 plus for each front door. I did not have this done. However, I can't imagine having the metal backing will prevent it from happening again in so much what the Service guy was recommending was more of a visual deterrent than anything else?

You might be using the nutrient storage but not breaking down muscle tissue unless you are suffering from some kind of necrosis.

Sorry about your truck!!!

Yeah, comes from the stress of having family and a job.....you wouldn't understand.

I-man, we're cool, thanks

HummerMan...glad to see you're still around.

Can anyone explain who & how someone else is using my same screen-name & avatar? You can see from the post-count that this is clearly not me. I can understand the avatar copy, but the screen-name too????????

First my wallet and now my screen-name....damn!!!!

Oh yeah, hey Alec...good to hear from you to!

Wait a minute...that's not the real Hummer Man...and more alarmingly: the fake "me" has over 256 post to his alias? Wtf????

You're the Moderator, can't you figure it out.

If I had to guess I'd figure some worthless bastard created a new screen-name and put an extra space after the letter R so the system thought it was different, someone with a lot of time on their hands and little of a life.

Paragon, you gots the skilz.....I'm sure you know who it is.

Got it, cute trick...I'd have to say someone has to be Super Bright to pull off such a stunt. You gays had me going for a minute there

They've been doing it to me too, Bro.

All doppelganging aside, the chrome backing does prevent this method of theft. It is solid metal, not plastic, therefore it cannot be pried up. Those things are expensive because of the labor time to install them. It involves disassembling each door panel, removing each window, and a lot of other stuff. The part is not exactly cheap either.

You'd be much better off just getting an alarm and it would even be cheaper than buying those blingy chrome door buckets.

Get an alarm and be done with it.

I'm not going to freak, it only seems to happen at the gym. The thieves rightly figure that anyone going into the gym is likely to need their drivers license to drive to the gym...but then they won't want to take their wallet into the gym. In my case they saw me reach up into my roof/above console and put something in there. They didn't open my center console, the glove box or even take my cell phone left out: they knew exactly what and where to go. BASTARDS!!!

An alarm may stop them, but only after they smash the door piece and cause some damage. I've got a line on a direct price deal for metal replacements....it's gonna cost, but...I dunno.
