What is your question?
My car got broken into and attempted theft. the ignition works but is damaged. My car wont start unless it is hooked to a jump box. starter, battery and altenator are good. What could it be? I also replaced the starter relay and that actually helped get it to where the car will start with the jump box.

Hello, sounds like the battery - even if "good" - has run down in charge to the point where a jumper box is required for operation. This can be due to some kind of electrical draw, quite possibly due to the damage to the ignition. I would expect that due to the break in, there's electrical system damage that should be resolved.
It's best to reach out to a local shop near you to find out what is going on via testing.
