You can put handle bars left or right and hold the ignition button and hear a click. I do not use mine but the dealer showed me this when he was trying to sell me on the keyless headache that I did not want.
Sorry for the circumstances! Gut punch
Not that it stops determined folks, but do the forks no longer lock with keyless?
You can lock the forks with keyless, but I'm guessing if they were able to start the bike they can unlock the forks.
The forks are locked and unlocked electronically.
Here are a couple of vids about a tracker (thanks to one of my HD-ridin' friends); Cycle Gear sells them and others.

Easy solution. Don’t own anything worth stealing.
Agreed. Parking a beautiful, fully loaded $30,000 motorcycle in an apartment parking deck seems pretty risky. I'm often amused to see pictures of the bike Matt Parkhouse takes to Mexico. It looks so ratty that apparently even the Mexicans won't bother stealing it. And he keeps that way on purpose. A lot of trips there, it always comes back.
It may not have all the bells and whistles of a new GSA, but an old GS1100 with rattle can paint all over it and a seat cover that's falling apart would, I'll bet, sit in that garage forever. And it would probably run as far and long as the new GSA.
Another solenoid to act up? OK...
I don't even trust a key and never lock the forks
I tried locking my steering today twice by holding the button down, I heard the click both times I tried, and it did not lock left or right.
Push button to turn bike on. Turn handlebar all the way to the left. Push and hold button down until you hear the solenoid move. Let up on button - handlebar is locked.

The bike was off, I turned handle bar to the left , pushed the start button and held it until I heard the click and no lock. Tried it to the right also. I will try again in the AM. I was in a hurry and just moving the bike around the shop.
On my '17 RT you don't "Push button to turn bike on" in order to lock steering.
