Chances are excellent, depending on the neighborhood. A 1/2" cable is a joke to someone who wants a bike. I can be through this one in less than 10 seconds

Go and get a NEW Kryptonite U lock (non-cylindrical keyed) You want it small enough to go arounf the rear wheel and whatever you're locking it to. No bigger.
Here's why: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/lock-strategy.html
Keep the cable lock to secure the front wheel to the frame and you're set.
