So I've acquired an '83 Vanagon, but it has no key. How can I get it home?
Break the wheel lock and hot wire it?
Remove the ignition?

Ideas? Thanks!

pull the ign housing off, reinstall the wheel, remove electrical from the back, and use screw driver to start, or just tow.

Trailer or bring an ignition switch with a key.

^ Amen to that. If you can get the ignition housing apart, and pull out the lock cylinder, the switch can be turned with a flat screwdriver. I bet a local locksmith could create a new key if you take the lock cylinder in.
