Discussing it with the wife since my post yesterday. In parking lots or our own driveway I could see it would be easy to simply push a bike away, or up into a trailer if someone were to be so bold.
The steering lock: Honestly I've never thought to use them, or never had one that was functional. This morning she and I tried them. I can see how with a little practice it could be engaged in about five seconds by leaning over and twisting it while the key is still in our hand. Very similar to locking car doors before wireless remotes. We've decided that a few seconds is a small price to pay to add a layer of security. Not foolproof by any means, but it does make theft quite a bit more difficult and time consuming, so therefore some degree less likely.
