Damn thieves... Need help

[Aznwolf118]

Hello,
The damn thieves decided that trying to steal my cat wasn't worth it and ended trying to steal the whole runner. After hitting the pipes by the cat and realizing the bud built skids might get in the way.
Those b@staffs didn't give up and just tried to break in the runner through the passenger door lock. So now I have

- door lock smashed in with a screw driver or dent puller
- door handle half way snapped and not working
- and the handle mechanism slightly pulled away from door
- saw-all cuts to my exhaust pipes

That's what the police noticed.

Need help with fixing the door handle, can I put a steel plate to re-inforce the area around the door handle.

Yes, its a known fact that the 3rd gens are popular to thieves for their Cats. Most anyone can slide under and start hacking, no need to jack it up. However, if you're not a pro, its a *****. Also, its easier to steal the cat, rather than the whole thing. Its not easy being a thief.

What year and color is your truck? I might have the passenger door handle you need.
