If you're in the neighbourhood of your bike, that is.
If you park your bike a railway station like I do, to get a train further away to work (or other public transit). It takes me longer than an hour to get back to my bike if I would get an alert, if I already can leave my workplace for that reason.

Bike companies could produce it with chips inside. Or you can store it in your saddle or somewhere in your tires or somewhere else.
I don't see the reason why it would be difficult to hide a chip somewhere in a bike.
