How often have you heard car alarms going off, with no one doing
anything about them? I don't think a bike alarm would be any better,
and anything loud enough to attract any attention would be too heavy to
deal with, and would mostly attract people who want to shut the damn
thing up, rather than deal with whatever set it off.
Also consider what you would have to do about a false alarm, and how
your neighbors would feel about said false alarms.
Get a good lock, and you should be OK.
