You dont get it.
I guess the story is trying to tell us that keeping laptops in laptop bags which also hold our other kit to go with the laptop, like power cords and extra batteries is not the thing to do.

No, it is saying that the people surveyed think your laptop is at greater risk of theft if carried in bag designed only to carry laptops. This seems like a no brainer, but it is worth noting that no actual research appears to have been conducted. Alternatives which would hold the same stuff but not advertise the valuable contents were mentioned in the article as perceived to be a better choice, so your protest about being told to not carry "other kit" is unfounded. This isn't about bringing your stuff, or even carrying it in a bag. It is about being more discrete. Going back to your misguided car analogy, this is like suggesting people not leave high theft items in plain sight inside a parked car (not hiding the car).
