Does your lock handle just flop around as though not connected to anything? Or does it seem to have some resistance as though the mechanism is engaging, just not doing anything?
I often have the condition where the door seems stuck even though the latch is operable. That's because the gaskets sealed "really good". A stiff pull while holding the latch in the open position will break the seal (& hopefully nothing else!)
Something that you should know (& not the thieves) is that the system of locking the door to the coach frame (the metal loop) is so poorly designed that a stiff pull on the door (grab under the folded lip) will generally open the door, even with the lock "locked".
