Default Broken into :(

This weekend I came back to my truck to realize I was missing my flip out touch screen dvd player. My whole center dash's guts were ripped out. It sucks but not horrible as I was going to replace it anyway with a flush mount LCD.

The real problem is how they got in, I am now missing the driver side lock and the plastic around it is broken.

Anyone know an easy way to replace/fix this? My deductible is kinda high for this.

Yikes.... Well, for the lock cylinder, you will have to get that from the dealer. I would pull your door panel to see if any lock actuator rods are bent and/or broken.

Since the lock cylinder was pulled out, I would imagine you will need a new door handle as well.

Sucks to hear man but I would consider calling insurance.

Insurance is 1,000 deductible. As bad as this is, I am glad I kept my brand new glock 19 tucked under the center console instead of in the glove box. They must not have looked under there.
