Default Bitten by Column Lock

I co-worker saw a black vert get hit with the column lock when trying to start the car after getting gas (in Denville NJ). Had to push the vette out of the pump stall. Damn....Hate to hear this. Wonder if it's a forum member?
I guess it's time for me to install the CLB which was a Xmas present. Maybe this was an omen (I live in the same area and have a black vert.)
