Thanks again guys. Roland, theft is the least of 
my problems by far.

I ordered the ignition switch and it arrived but 
it was not quite like mine.
The metal case and the pins were exactly the same 
but what was
different is what was in the slot in the middle of 
the circle of pins.

The old switch has a hammer like plastic object 
that disappeared down
into the slot and was almost the height of the 
pins. It is firmly attached
to another part below the slot and it seems it 
cannot be taken out.

The new one has a plastic rod that only comes up 
to the top of the slot -
the level of the base of the pins - and it has a 
diametral slot of about
1/16" wide x about 3/16" long. It seems to me that 
it would take another
piece in the shape of the hammer above the base of 
the pins and a piece
at the other end that would fit down into the 
1/16" x 3/16" slot.

Comments appreciated.
