'21 Chevy break-in repair

[justletmein]

Son's truck got broken into at the movie theater yesterday. I think we can DIY the door handle/lock but he said they disabled the alarm, it doesn't beep when he hits the lock button. Now that I think about it maybe they just clipped the horn wires, I'll ask him to check if his horn works. But, anybody have info or details on the handle and alarm common repairs, anything I'm missing? High deductible so we're gonna try to DIY. Really nice truck and I feel bad because he busted his butt to get to the point of buying a nice truck but as far as life lessons go this one is pretty tame so can't complain.

Dang man that is a bummer! I would get online and buy the Jimmy Jammers to put behind the door handle and yes you should be able to replace it your self. Also what they are doing now is jerking the horn cable off through the grill so when they open it it will not honk. When my son had an alarm added to his truck I was questioning the speaker being mounted so far back behind the motor. The shop said to make it harder to cut the wire for noise.

If the horn works then undo the battery cables and let the truck reset and see if that fixes the issue.

Thanks, I'll let him know about that.

I'm down at camp so only talked to him briefly on the phone then he handed the phone to my nephew when the movie theater manager came out. Nephew said some stuff was taken but wasn't sure what yet. I don't think he really keeps anything in the truck other than his hardhat and boots in the back seat and little things. We've had the discussion about his tools so this is a valuable reinforcement for that, couple times he's gone out places straight from work with all his tools in the truck (electrician apprentice) and I always give him crap about that. They said everything in the glove box and center console was scattered all over the floor board, really made a mess. Seems to me like they're probably looking for guns.
