No those wouldn't have helped. They defeated the lock cylinder itself. Those things keep them from prying the plastic piece out and sliding something behind there to access the lock rod. I looked into those before, but thanks. I appreciate you looking out for me!

How the hell did they get in? I don't see any damage. If they popped out the lock cylinder, you can't even tell.

They push the lock cylinders on the door in, they’ve done it to like 15 of our late 90’s early 2000’s work trucks

I got the cylinder replaced and the column all put back together. The only thing left is the passenger door lock; I have to remove the door panel and see what's up. It's raining like hell today though so that will wait. Thanks for all the help guys.

when they bust those door locks in it breaks on the inside of the handle, most likely you will need the lock cylinder and a handle, you will see when you pull the panel off look at it with a flashlight, a lock smith can re-key the cylinder for you cheap if you take it to them before you put back it in. it is easy to replace yourself the stealer will want like $200+
it looks like your handles are painted to match so there's that also, I've had mine broken a few times which is why I have this alarm system now which wont stop them from breaking it, but it will scream bloody murder when they do.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll see if I can just put a blank cover over that lock hole and paint that part to match. I never have used that lock; I'll still have the driver door and hatch in case my fob doesn't work. But I think I'll remove the new ignition cylinder and take it to a locksmith with the old one and have it rekeyed back to the original so they all match.
