7 Door Latch problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2008

While parked at a restaurant my Tahoe was broke into. The theft was done with a small flat head screwdriver under the key lock in the seal between the handle and the door. I couldn't even tell. The police showed me where to look and said it was very common. I took it to two dealerships and a body shop. One dealer and the body shop said that this was very common and the previous year model had the same issue. The alarm doesn't go off because the screwdriver is sensed as a key. Gm customer service filed a complaint by me and closed it in the same phone call. They said to take it up with my insurance company. It should not be that easy to break into. It is going to cost $700 to replace the handle and paint the door and I must replace the gps unit that was stolen and a check to my bank was also taken.
