During WWII, American troops in Naples (Italy) were known to
remove the steering wheels from their parked Jeeps... Then there
were pictures (taken in France I think, not sure..) of a side
door-strap eyelet bolted to the middle of the Jeep dash, so that
one could padlock the gear lever in reverse...
But when there is a will, there's a way...
After all, jeeps originally came out with an H700 iginition key,
but Willys & Ford soon gave up on that (end of 1942)...
Actually, I got a NOS replacement switch (Ford, I think) which
had BOTH the tumbler with H700 Keys AND the paddle switch
un-keyed tumbler in the box.
