Just joined the "Dreaded Steering Lock Club"

Joined 370Z.com to say thanks! I bought my 370Z in 09 and it's been a great car and a joy to drive, until last Sunday. Thanks to this site I was able to figure out that I was driving a time bomb and it went off, far from home and on a Sunday no less. I just Googled "370Z steering lock" and I hit the mother-load of other Z owners with the exact same problem. Thanks one and all for the insight and suggestions...

Did you get it going again, or did you need to tow it to the dealer?

Sorry brother...
You can tap... Beat the shít out of it to get it to unlock your steering wheel
Then you can pull the fuse!
