Nicholas Appice shared a video that one of his sons took where he explains to his wife that he thought leaving the keys in the car would ensure that he didn’t lose the keys while they were on vacation.

To this logic, his wife responds with, “Are you stupid… you left my keys with the tag at the airport?” She points out that the keys have an Airtag tracking device on them and never would’ve gotten lost anyway.

Viewers found this exchange to be hilarious, earning the video over 3 million views and more than 500 thousand likes. Commenters had a field day poking fun at the dad and offering to “check on the car.”

One commenter said, “Cars gon be gone when they get back,” to which Nicholas replied, “Update: the Airtag attached to the car is moving.” Others claimed to be on the mom’s side saying, “WHO LEAVES KEYS IN THEIR CAR.”

There has yet to be an update on the status of the car from the creator, aside from updates made jokingly in the comments. People namely seemed to enjoy the dynamic of the family and having a laugh at a situation they were glad not to be a part of.

Fans wanting to keep up with Nicholas Appice’s car or family can follow along on TikTok or Instagram. His sons are also creators and often post content featuring their family’s antics. They can be found as @DamianAppice and @DevinAppice on TikTok.
