If they just punched out your lock, you can change the lock assembly not the whole column. Take the plastic covers off and see what damage you have. You need to drill out the screws holding the lock to the column, as they have breakway heads to discourage theft (though not very effectively). Another way to remove those screws is to cut slots in them with a Dremel cutting wheel, then back them out with a standard flat screwdriver.
