I believe if you have the doors locked and someone jumps in and depresses the clutch your alarm will go off.
I have an A4 so I can't be sure.. Someone run outside and try it.

Not that it's going to lock it but,for any amount of time when you're
parking,you should be parking in reverse,it's in the owner's manual
