Default Break in or lock cover fall off itself?

my wife told me the lock cover fall off her 10' RX350. I take a look and think someone might want to break in and break the lock cover off. What do you think?

Looks like something was forced in around the key hole . I would say somebody tried to break in .

Break-in. Looks like they tried to drill through the lock. Amateurs.

Doesn't look like there was any damage to the paint! You're either very lucky, or I missed something.

This stinks, looks like they forced a screwdriver in there but couldn't "pop" the lock...
