Reply to Kamus:

Almost certainly not a lock problem. Engine probably died...steering went stiff...but can now be turned.
Batt re-connected firmly should have done no real harm other than windows programming (owners manual).
Standard test procedures should reveal the problem but:
Does the starter turn the motor? Do the lights go dim? Does a batt terminal get hot after trying to start. Is batt at 12V +? Does it start by a different procedure like foot on brake in N? ....and many more ...

After that, deal with the steering lock, maybe. Harness is best and quickest, but costs a bit. Add a switch to it if car theft is a problem. You can then immobilise the car at will to reject its own or a cloned key.
