I don't know of a fix. The person or persons that broke into your car
probably used what is known as a "slim-jim". The owners of tow trucks
carry them to open the cars of people that lock their keys inside their
vehicles. All car thiefs have them and they can easily be home made. They
can used to break in almost any car regardless of the company that made
the car. They usually go after older cars that are not likely to have car
alarms. I advise you to buy a car alarm and install it. In addition, put
stickers on both front windows indicating that you have a car alarm
installed.
