Default RX7 steering column locked

Hello All,

I just inherited my mom's 1995 RX7. I have a major problem. It was stolen 1 year ago and found 1 month later. Crack heads tried to drill through ignition and hot wire it. Needless to say the cars in a bad way. I tried to move it on a trailer but the wheels wouldn't turn left (currently pointed 30 degrees right) it appears it hit the end of the rack and pinion (not sure what the hell they did) tried turning the wheel to the right and back and the column locked. Im assuming because the key is in off position. My key doesnt work anymore due to severe damage to ignition. I had to have it towed to a friend's house instead as I couldn't get on a trailer. So, is there any relatively easy way to turn the wheels straight so I can get it on a trailer home to fully fix it? Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks
