Blazer front locks and handles

Anyone else having issues with f**ckwad crooks smashing the front handles on their Blazers? I noticed that when you either break the handle bezel or pry the door's panel just below the lock, there's a HOLE leading DIRECTLY from that point, thru the door's frame, and letting out AT THE LOCKROD!!!

To me, this sounds like a design flaw, and a huge vehicle security problem that chevy should have caught.

:banghead:

VW had the same issue with their rabbits, and the aftermarket made up a nice little plate that not only hid the damage but also made it harder to break in
