WTF?!

[dvl57]

I went out with the family to a steak house restaurant and when I came to the door I noticed this. Someone was trying to break into my truck. WTF!

I hear the lock tumbler stuck in between my door and my interior panel.

Anybody know what this is going to cost?

The service dept closed earlier in the day...and this happened during dinner time.

They didn't take anything...then again...I think the thief or thieves got spooked by other patrons because it didn't seem like they even got in. Maybe they attempted to break in...but decided against it?

I think it's pretty easy to break into American made vehicles...is it not?


Some feedback would be appreciated.

Pretty common problem with some of the GM vehicles.
Might want to read through a couple of these post to prevent it from happening again.

Sorry that it happened and that that I cannot tell you what it would cost to fix it, someone may come forward with that answer or it could be in one of the links below, I think I seen $300.00.

I had the same thing happen to my 2005 H2 a few weeks ago. Took it the the dealer, total cost was less then $300.00 to repair. Consider getting Jimmy Jammers for both front doors and while there's no guarantee it will prevent breaking into your vehicle, it's another layer of protection.

I paid $451.31 for the following:

F-Handle $88.52
F-Cylinder $106.18
Labor was $218.90

I was thinking about claiming insurance, but I figured just to swallow the loss.

I'll think about jimmyjammer, but the service advisor advised not altering the door because if the thief really wants to, they'll still get in.

My guess is - just park your Hummer as close to the business or restaurant as possible w/o any door dings. I parked it close to the street so I wouldn't get any door dings, but I guess door dings is more preferable than a break in.

what's everyone's take on it?
