Yikes, actually there are videos on line that can help with this and the proper way to handle air bags. If they can steal them from your car without them going off you can disable them to remove the wheel. On my 08 JK it has a
"clock spring" failure. It's some type of device that is connected with the airbag, to get to it is more than I care to bother with.It requires dismantling the steering column. Once it's done Im going to have them leave the pin out so i don't
need to use the key when towing and having to pull the master fuse.
