Door handle ripped off

Door handle ripped off
Hey guys.
New to the whole RX8 scene, after 5 years of desperately wanting one.
Anyways, I was in the Tesco's car park and cine back to find my drivers side door handle on the floor next to my car![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Nothing seems to be broken on it, I just cant get it back in!
I can get the handle in the holes, if you understand what I mean, I just cant get it to secure in place/ link up with the actual door opening mechanism
Help?

you are probably the first one with a broken handle, well I mean it's not the first time that a Mazda car's handle just broke. but it won't just "on the floor" without anybody touching it
you sure no one tried to mess with your car?
anyway, a pic of the handle will be able to help.

Mine fell off after it wouldn't open. I bet $20 that the tabs on the inside are broken. Order a new handle, replace.
Someone tried to open your door I think!

Yeah... seems like somebody was dumb enough to think they can open your door just by pulling on the handle real hard...
I say this because I can't comprehend a door handle simply falling off in the breeze...
