2009 70k and it happened. Thing is I havent been on 370z.com in over a year. Anyway it crapped out in the unlocked position but thankfully in my garage. Then I remembered seeing something back in the day on here about steering lock. Well I initially tried steering column up and down technique. Then moved to gentle taps on the actual lock. Nothing. Then I come across a user who said to not puss out on the taps and to beat it like it was taking $600 from me. Lol. I didnt go lunatic on it but I did apply more than gentle force. Thankfully it unlocked and I already had fuse box open and ready to pull. Just wanted to say thanks everybody and to remind not be scared to give more than a gentle tap if this ever happens to you.
