Headset Locks (or whatever they are called)

When I was in Japan last month, I hung out with someone who rides a
bicycle almost everywhere. She has a comfort bike (all Shimano of
course) and it has 2 cool built-in keylocks. One is on the headset
and locks the shaft so the front wheel cannot be turned. I would like
to know what that type of lock is called, and if its possible to
retrofit these types of locks on a frame. I didn't actually see the
second lock - she just referred to it when I commented on the headset
lock (we were crossing the street at the time). I would think that
built-in locking schemes would be effective.
