Glass Animals are still trying to get back "irreplaceable" music equipment from British Airways
Glass Animals' Davey Bayley has been using Twitter to call out British Airways over the past week after the airline lost his "irreplaceable music-making equipment".
Last week Glass Animals vocalist Dave Bayley took to Twitter in an attempt to get a response with trying to locate some lost equipment. In the first tweet, Bayley wrote that the music equipment is "irreplaceable" and that he's "tried every avenue".
Hey @British_Airways…my irreplaceable music-making equipment has been lost by BA for six days. I’ve tried every avenue. I can’t get any information by phone or email, we’ve gone to multiple airports to get help in person only to be sent in circles for hours. Please help! -Dave

Over the next few days, Bayley continued to tweet British Airways asking for an update, and revealed that the equipment is "geo-tagged and BA have a map to its precise location from which it hasn’t moved an inch for a whole week."
Hi @British_Airways, just following up on my previous tweet…any progress? Plz lmk! For anyone asking: Yes it is geo-tagged and BA have a map to its precise location from which it hasn’t moved an inch for a whole week.

Hey @British_Airways …any news on my equipment? It still hasn’t moved. A map to where it is is in your DMs and on email. Some help would be absolutely brilliant…REALLY need to finish some music…I’ve missed a few deadlines now. -Dave

Yesterday (3 July) he shared another tweet, writing, "Hey British Airways...here is just another reminder that my equipment has still not been returned…nearly two weeks now…? want to help at some point? If not, the police have agreed to escort one of our team to come and collect the bag next week. - Dave."

British Airways finally responded, but it looks like it wasn't helpful in the slightest, as Bayley responded, "that is just completely false, a kind man who works at the airport told me he found it based on the map I sent, and delivered it to british airways management…it has been traced for two weeks! and now delivered to you! …just need you to give it back to me!"
