Shh! Just don't tell anyone and act like it's not broken. If you
never show anyone that it starts without the key, maybe no one will
find out ;-).
Of course, fixing the lock is more secure.

Once you get the steering wheel off, it's not too bad. The Chilton CJ books
do a pretty good job of describing the procedure.
