two problems.
What happens if they don't cut the wire, and just try to ride off? Can imagine some horrible injuries from that.
You're going to wake up and chase them off long before they manage to get to that stage!
(see smokin' joe's reply.)

Then also you've got to have a wire running from outside the tent, all the way inside somehow.
The bike would be in the tent's porch.

What if you move in your sleep?
What if?
The wire would be long enough, and even the thinnest electrical solid core or multicore wire available from
maplin, strong enough - to not break simply due to movements in the sleep.

NOpe, that's something completely different. From its description, that would appear to be a microwave sensor. You see what you've done there is you've taken a wild stab in the dark, searched for it, not found it, but copied and pasted the first thing that came up anyway.
What I
want to do is to alarm my bike, hence I want a bike alarm.
What I
don't want to do is to sense microwaves, hence I
don't want a microwave sensor.

What about a level sensor that trips if the bike is moved?
That sort of thing?
Edit: This looks like it fits the bill ...

Feasible, but I think it's going to be more fiddly. In other words if I arm it and then adjust the position of the bike slightly, or reach across it to get something, it's going to set it off accidentally and wake everybody up needlessly.
Close, but I want the trigger to be breakage of a wire, not simply any movement.

You mean something like this ?
You don't have to reinvent the wheel, you could acquire exclusive marketing rights to sell this type of product to the cycle industry with a bit of careful negotiation (IE re-branding it for cyclists without the development costs of starting from scratch)

Close, to be honest. Wonder how long the cable is though? I wonder if I could cut the cable to test it and attach my own wire?

Piss easy. Just ask the police for a rape alarm (they're free) and wire it up to your bike. It was in one of the MTB magazines.
What, and stick a notice on it saying "Excuse me thieves, but if you are going to nick this bike would you please have the courtesy to also press the button on this rape alarm so I know you're nicking it and can be alerted in order to give chase?"
Tit!
