So, my '88 Celica GT got broken into (twice) and they destroyed the ignition trying to steal it.

Now the police department is going to tow it tomorrow unless I move it. So this morning I hotwired it, but the steering wheel is locked, and I don't know how to unlock it since I can't turn the key in the ignition.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get it unlocked? I can break stuff if I have to...I really don't want the car to get towed and impounded.

coomer can you take a picture of how damage the steering colum is?

I suggest a giant breaker bar with a flat head attachment to try to turn the key hole.

if that doesnt work, just break the wheel lose with brute force.

good luck. if in doubt ADD MORE POWER!
