Default Drivers door lock

My car got broken into today, just wondering how they get in. Do they just smash the lock in or do they hit and turn at the same time ?

When something happens do you ever wonder how it happened

I'm confused. If they broke into your car I would have thought the method would be obvious!

Not that obvious when i cant clearly see the damage to the lock. I'll get a torch next time, its obvious thats much easier than getting an answer on here.

Sorry if I sounded obtuse but your question did look strange. What type of Ford is it?

I've got it booked in with the NRMA. The door lock is stuffed and 2 big scratches on passenger doors. I guess the 35 cd's, FPV glasses, kids glasses and few bits n pieces wont get replaced.

Check your insurance policy. Many companies will cover for theft from inside your car up to a certain level. Good luck.

Whats so strange about the question BBQ ? Ive never broken into a car before, now someone breaks into mine, i'm curious as to how and its curious ?
If your that intrigued by it, ring the 131444 and ask for Irene. Plate is OXR-60W, that should satisfy any queries you have about the validity of the odd but simple question.

I thought it was strange the way it was worded and took it to read as. 'geez someone broke into my car. I wonder how".
A little more info, like in you later post, would have told us that they broke in through the door lock but you did'nt know just what they broke inside the door.

Now trying to be a smart**** but reading it from this side of the screen was strange
