Ex-locksmith here. No evidence that someone tried to "pick" the lock (which doesn't really leave any evidence other than sometimes small scratches), but it looks like someone tried to drill and/or punch the lock. They may have succeeded and gotten inside, or they may have just jammed the lock mechanism by mistake.

Either way, you need a whole new (and probably better) lock ASAP. You also ought to consider calling police or at least checking for evidence of theft/damage inside.

No Country for Old Men break-in attempt is what I’d like to imagine.
