the steering lock aint' worth much...
You can do what my kid did... do to your local Harley/Honda/Suzuki/Kaw/Triumph store and get one of those $100 chains that weigh about 20 lbs....lock your bike to a post or something solid, if you cant' do that, then at least lock the front wheel to the frame... four big guys can still pick it up but they pbly wont' bother when there's a nice Harley sitting there they can use for parts...
If you have the $$$, LoJack works pretty well....

Oh yeah.... ATGATT...
All the gear ALL the time... much less pain...
Good luck with school, my son is also in college...
Oh and ALWAYS BACK into parking spaces...<BG>
