Who leaves 10K worth of anything in their car? I get antsy leaving my $200 laptop hidden under my seat! This person is crazy.

There is also no guarantee they person who stole the bag wouldn't dump the bag(with the hidden AirTag) and just keep the gear or that the police would help recover it even if you gave them the location(many times the don't).

Surely going to lunch with 10k of equipment is safer, especially when you'll need to go to the toilet.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but generally car break-ins are much more frequent than muggings. And bringing a bag of expensive equipment into the bathroom is almost certainly less risky than leaving it somewhere, whether in your car or elsewhere.
