replace the lock. You can probably find it at just about any parts store, depending on the year.

It's jammed in really well. Should I try to hit it back in with a hammer then take it off from the inside?

The door panel looks a little deformed. You will want to massage it back in shape with a hammer and dolly. You will need to remove the lock cylinder first plus any of the related mechanism that is in that area. Once it's pretty much back to the right shape you can either remount the cylinder or put in a new one. You may want to call a locksmith to see if they can set the new cylinder up with your old key. Freakin low life thieves.

Wish this was legal in the US:








Yes, that is a car-alarm with a built in flame thrower, have to be careful not to set it off by accident though.

It doesn't matter where you live or park these days. The ****** are everywhere. Last time someone got in my car they took my old Magellan GPS. I hope the ***holes got lost on the way back. It was a POS gps anyways. At least they didn't pry my stereo out of the dash.

^This, years ago I had someone break out a $600 rear window to steal a set of speakers that cost about $75.

Clip has got to be broken you can probably just pull the door panel & push it out. Straighten the panel with a dolly and slap a cylinder back in it.

"well... some guy did this"
Crazy ex-GF? if so, watch your 6.

You can work the damaged hole with a wooden Dowell to get it back into shape.

Bogus. My buddy heard someone get into his truck a while back in the middle of the night. Pointing his shotgun through the windshield at the dude seemed to work, HA. Hope you get it fixed up easily!
