wire loop in the cable assembly that can generate an alarm as
soon as the cable is cut.

No engineer would do that, knowing that it would be wastage of
time and materials. Nobody would pay any attention to an alarm,
least of all the police. We're not living in the twentieth century
now. 

 
The car alarm in a public place is the most ignored warning :) 

 
But with 5G phone links and artificial intelligence, the alarm can be
sent to places where it will get attention, not that you'd know
anything about that.
 

Attention from.... who, exactly? The police in my country are all too
busy watching screens for mean tweets. In the US, thieves are
considered fine, upstanding and often oppressed people, who certainly
shouldn't be bothered by nasty law-enforcers.
