Watch this clip where a touring crew's seven-hour road trip across New Zealand takes an unexpected turn after they discover all 13 suitcases from their trailer have spilled onto the highway, sparking a frantic search.
Sean Wepener from Brisbane, Australia recorded the moment after the crew for Magic Men realised the trailer attached to their vehicle had opened roughly three hours into the journey between shows.
The footage captures the crew retracing their route while searching for their missing luggage, which contained costumes, merchandise and personal belongings. Thanks to an AirTag placed inside one suitcase, they quickly located nine of the missing bags and recovered them with the help of Waiouru Police.
The following day, another suitcase was found at Taupō Police Station while the crew continued travelling between performances. At the time of writing, three of the 13 suitcases remain missing.
Sean said the incident quickly gained widespread attention on social media, attracting millions of views and coverage from news outlets and radio stations across New Zealand.
A user commented: "Lmao I'm dying. How does this happen?! Wishing you all luck finding the missing suitcases!"
Another user commented: "This restores my faith in New Zealand that almost all have been found. Come on people, only three left to go. Surely we can hand them over or find them."
