Woowwwwwww ! you where lucky and brave not to heve to destroy half a door !!
Could you post a pic showing that strange position ? Thanks
Do you think there is something to do to prevent some other same issue ????? some stop bracket or watever trick ?
I hope these pictures explain it. I can't see a modification to prevent it. I think the b****** had flexed the plastic handle mounting enough to flip the lobe over the end of the lever.There is not much overlap in my door.
This is the cam on the end of the lock barrel. It is held with a roll pin, which in my case the b****** has sheared in their attempts to force the lock.

What time of day did this happen Chris?
Many thanks Chris for these pics and informations !!
Similar subject..... I remember years ago Kevin Brown (he had the Vauxhall "Bronze" Car which I haven't seen in years) had his rear clam open for people to see the engine bay....... some low life forced 2 x 2pence pieces between the cam wheels and belt on a twink... so whichever way the engine started it would ride the belt over the cam wheel..... fortunately he spotted it before starting the engine.... what some people do never ceases to amaze me
Complete and utter Bast**ds
Not sure - I found it after the car had been on the stand for36 hours. There was somebody sleeping beside the display as well as onsite security so who knows.
Sorry for your trouble
That's the problem with cars like ours...Some jealous or bad people to do that specially if the car is parked a long time!
I'm worried for mine because no keys then I bought new locks with keys but they don't work perfectly and doors can be opened with force...in any way those kind of Ba....ds are able to break windows for stealing inside!
Also I empty the cockpit each time I leave the car outside!

On my original car, there is a tiny plate welded to the end of the lever (where you've circled it), where the lobe has ridden over, hard to explain but it effectively makes the lever thicker. David
