Additionally, the absence of the tumblers affects the mechanical function of the ignition lock cylinder, as the keyway no longer aligns properly to engage the steering wheel lock mechanism. Without the key, you cannot unlock the steering wheel, which is a safety measure to prevent unauthorized access to the vehicle and maintain the integrity of the steering system.
Therefore, removing all the tumblers from the ignition lock cylinder will render the car immobile and completely prevent it from starting and driving, not to mention the obvious security concern as the steering wheel will no longer be able to be secured.
