An American woman pulled an elaborate prank on her father at the airport, with a video of the mischief going viral on TikTok. Spotting your suitcase on the luggage carousel can be difficult, especially if you have a nondescript dark-coloured bag like most other travellers. It becomes even harder if you’re colourblind, like Missouri father Mike Bone.

So, his daughter Kelsey Thorne devised a plan that would help his dad but also be comical. The prank began before the family left home to catch a flight to the Dominican Republic. At this time, Thorne, with the help of her brother and mother, stuck large stickers on her father’s suitcase; one was a big picture of his head and another read “Help my dad find his luggage!”.

Thorne’s mother distracted her dad as she placed the stickers and packed the bag into the car. When they arrived at the airport, the family quickly checked in the luggage while he parked the car..
