the first thing you should do is remove the metal posts that attach to that pice that shows if the car is locked or unlocked. theifs lift up the door handle stick a long screw driver in the hole underneath your handle and press on that post and push up and the door unlocks. EVERY ONE should remove that post its easy just pull your door panel off and use a screw driver to bend open the plastic tab it sits in.
I something similar happen.
They tried to pop the lock on the passenger side, and when that didn't work they tried the driver side. When that didn't work they tried the rear hatch. They F-d up all of my locks then walked away empty handed. Luckily the alarm still worked the locks. The real kicker for me was that it happened in the parking lot of the apartment I lived in at the time. They probably tripped the alarm more than once, and no one even looked out the window!
By the way the locks are usually sold in sets. And it may be cheaper to replace all of them, vs having a locksmith match the new lock to your existing keys.

a least hes letting everyone know, and im pretty sure anyone whos gonna try to steal a car...already knew about that. Let see, a nice notch with some hug chrome rims...maybe thats why they broke in
Iand said:
You'd be supprised. A good theif will prepare.... For example: I alway's take out my rotor when I leave my car unattended. (No alarm) and it was still stolen. Middle of the day, during school. My 67K mile Reef blue GT was stolen. It was recovered a month later as a shell....
If they want it, they will get it.
