Cool Break in! Busted door lock

Well, my wife's `05 Limited was broken into in the grocery store parking lot today. She was in there a whopping 15 minutes, but it was enough. *********s busted out the driver door lock.

What can I do to prevent this again? I thought there was a plate/guard that I could put in the door to prevent this, but I am having no luck with a search here, or on google.

Thanks,

Doug

Order up some rear door handles and use them for the front. You don't need a keylock anyway since you've got the keypad + key fob.

Can they still not bust out any of the handle plates and get past the locking mechanism? I assumed that I would need to install a fix on all the doors...

They can also bust out the windows. The key lock is the easiest access.

You can always install this.

Your suggestion is probably more appropriate and easier to install.

Mine was also broken into earlier this year and I witnessed it, the rear handle were a bit too expensive for me from the dealer so I cocked the locks and double limo tinted the glasses.

Got me three times!!

I've had my truck broken into three times through the door locks, but I installed the plates about four months ago and I haven't had any more problems, the plates are called "jimmi jammers". www.jimmijammer.com
