HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nearly 2 weeks ago some scumbag tried to pinch my Lilly Bug from the front of the house (I use her as my everyday vehicle too).  They had smashed the ignition lock and not done much else as luckily I have an imobiliser. I have since replaced the ignition barrel started to check all ok but not driven her.

I went to drive her for the first time tonight, and the steering doesn't work!!!!!!!! Very stiff and a grinding noise.  Anyone any ideas quick!!!!  I'm booked to be away from tomorrow.  I trawled the usual places but can't find an answer I'm asuming it's probably something to do with sterring lock but not sure where to start!!!  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

i have just changed the ignition barrel as I thought that was all that was damaged.  I did buy the whole thing metal bit that goes round steering column with the ignition barrell in it but as couldn't get the steering lock off as unable to get key in thought the barrell would be a better option! Obviously not lol Don't even know where to start to find the steering lock mechanism lol

Thank you all for your responses we ended up having the best weekend at Pilgrims in Boston (check em out).  It turned out had smashed steering lock and the large bit of metal was lodged between steering spindle and tube which surrounds.  After queing at Halfords got the stuff (on second visit) to remove steering wheel and remove the said lump of metal lol so off we trotted at 2 instead of 11 lol thank you again all of you xxxx
