Re: Criminals! and a steal proof hatch.

Wow, I didn't know people were stealing stuff like that. That makes me nervous.

Re: Criminals! and a steal proof hatch.

Seems to me that if your hatch lock works (and door locks), the thief would not be able to access the hinge bolts from inside the Blazer. When you get a replacement hatch, make sure you have a working locking handle and this shouldn't happen again. Sorry and good luck.

Yeah, that is true, but lets face it, these older trucks are easy to get in to if someone really wants.
