After returning home, they opened up a bottle of wine in celebration.
Several TikTok users were delighted by this story with a happy ending, and some even shared similar experiences.
“I love how you were just casually listening to music on a manhunt, and these guys didn’t even know you were coming for them,” commented one user.
“I tried this when my car got broken into, and my football bag was taken. Worthless to them but sentimental to me – so glad you got them!” exclaimed another.
“I basically did this same thing when my passport got stolen WHILE I was visiting Australia, and I found the guy myself,” shared a third.
And that’s a day in the life of two detectives!
