The couple bought tickets with stopovers in Abu Dhabi and Frankfurt, but then had to reschedule the flight along a different route. global pandemic.
According to CNN, he rescheduled his flight and went straight to the UK. However, upon reaching the UK, he realized that his luggage had not arrived. The couple was traveling on the airline Hey Lingus.
Fortunately, Sharrod placed an airtag inside each bag for easy locating them. Using the Find My app, he found that his bag had arrived in Frankfurt, but had not been placed on a plane bound for London.
Aer Lingus, the airline responsible for the flight, said the bags would be delivered to Sharrod’s home address. However, only two of the three bags were delivered.

The couple now believes it has been stolen, and has also reported it to the police.
Hi @AerLingus – Perhaps a powerpoint presentation on the trip you sent my lost/stolen bag would help?
I have told you many times where it is and you are not doing anything about it.
It’s been a shocking experience with you pic.twitter.com/105BdEM7MU
