Apparently hotwiring the car isn't a big deal. The problem is the steering lock - if the ignition is "off", the steering wheel won't turn much before it locks into place. That's the trick.

The easiest thing would probably be to pull the ignition cylinder (to remove the lock) and then hotwire it. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that. How soon does it need to be moved?
