I don't remember what year we are talking about, but in the US I
think we got the steering lock in about 69.  I don't think the
steering lock will engage unless the lock cylinder is TURNED.  You
should verify this, however, because Dave is right, this could be
dangerous.

can come out doesn't mean you have to take it out..
