Some saw Paul Walker's death as an opportunity to profit. Unfortunately, this often happens in this sick world, as some profit from victims of various accidents and steal their belongings.
In the case of the American movie star, we are not talking about the heartless individuals that pilfered parts from the Porsche Carrera GT and attempted to sell them online. No, this article is about a different kind of jerk, in the form of an employee that worked in a warehouse where Paul Walker was storing his car collection.

According to an attorney representing the family of the movie star, the lawsuit was settled amicably, and one of the conditions was to return every vehicle.
The rest of the settlement is confidential, so nobody will know how many cars were recovered. We made this note because some of the vehicles were reportedly sold after they were moved, but this story was not confirmed.
