Thx

Steering wheels from the scrap yards are only a few quid.

get a hacksaw start cutting the lock or find the key or cut the steering wheel make sure you have a replacement ready to refit before you cut the first one as you may not be able to drive it unless you have a flashiy "whoosh woosh" light on the front :)

Most steering wheels are press fit. There are usually 2 bolt holes on either side of the hub. Might cost you another quid for two bolts and three wide washers to pop the wheel off. o)(o

Just get angry with it. Brute force, a hammer, thick screw driver and a crow bar are all thieves would use. It's amazing what will give way with a bit of force and the attitude "who cares if I scratch it". I believe Halfords rate the Eagle Claw as above average protection, i.e. it will hold a thief up for between 2 and 5 minutes.

Dont know what a eagle claw looks like - but cant you leave the car door open (cover it with a old damp blanket) and use one of those disc grinders at suitable points to get it off .
