Was it moving and they pressed the brake pedal to STILL the car? How do you KNOW it won't start?
Depends on the lock, for instance; to hot wire a car lock you simple take a flat head screwdriver and a hammer. You place the flat head screwdriver in the ignition, hit it with the hammer, and turn the car to start it. Similar methods apply to similar locks ;).
someone tried to start the car with a screwdriver and now the key doesnt go in to start
This is something that should be handled by an expert mechanic. The ignition switch is a very delicate part of your car, one mess up and you might not be able to start it again.
If YOU can start it with a screwdriver, so can anyone else........there goes your ride. And if the police see the screwdriver trick, you may be detained for awhile.......
Not to bash on the last answer, but, the starter solenoid probably isn't at fault here. If it will start with the screwdriver then the starter solenoid is functioning. It either does or it doesnt. The answer lies in circuitry back from the solenoid to the ignition switch. You could have a bad ignition switch or neutral/safety switch.AnswerDefective starter solenoid.

The ignition cylinder is the part you turn your key in to start the car, this is in its housing.
Yes, a bad coil will prevent the ignition from firing and the engine will not start.
You don't. The ignition is required to start the car. If it fails you need a new ignition switch.
