Default 2001 cherokee stolen recovery

Hey guys. I'm looking at buying a Cherokee that was stolen and the thief busted out the ignition switch amongst other things. Is there anyway to bypass the switch so I can drive it home? My only dealership experience is with GM columns so I'm thinking it should be pretty much the same.

Before you buy it, make sure there are no liens on it and the purchase is legal. If it's like the GM column, the switch is on a pushrod from the tumbler and is under the dash near the base of the column. You should be able to activate the switch manually.
