Those damn destructive thieves

I only see one pic, but yeah, looks like they tried to pry behind the handle which generally destroys the door!
I would install Jimmijammers. They are metal plates that go inside the door that stop thieves in their tracks. Looks like a rookie had at your door.

They have punch plugs as well which remove the lock entirely.
I think they give you stickers, make sure they are on your doors.
As for replacing the handle, you'll have to get inside the door panel for that. Removing the panel is very easy. Torx screw for the handle(dont strip it), and #3 phillips in 2 spots I believe. been awhile...

There' 2 rods. 1 goes straight down to the lock actuator and another rod that goes over to the door handle. Those rods are held on by plastic clips. The rod that goes down to the actuator has a plastic clip that just snaps tight over a threaded rod. There's a chance that came unlatched or stripped off.
