If you figure this one out I'm interested...if you drilled the locking bolt out of the steering column or cracked the support pin you'd be set. I've seen them pull the ignition lock with a big screw and a slide hammer (in the movies)...

Maybe a cutting wheel on the top of the lock mechanism could chop the lever that engages the steering lock?

In the past, I have used a big flatblade screwdriver and a hammer. Just slam the screwdriver into the key slot and turn.

That's how I took your car for a drive last year.
