Pete;

That drilling solution will work, sure, but I still recommend trying to pick it first...they're not the most secure lock (and so not too difficult to pick) on this earth, and I prefer it to the brute force/destructive solution...and if you slip, things will never quite be the same! Besides, if Jim gets it picked and extracted (for say, $20 or even $40!), and then does find the key, he's still better off costwise, not having to buy a new/used replacement lock cylinder.

I guess I just would leave the destruction of good ole' Volvo parts as the LAST, not the FIRST resort.

Cheers
