A Michigan couple has been ordered by a judge to pay their son after they got rid of his pornography collection. In total, the parents owe him $30,441.
David Werking, 43, won the lawsuit against his parents in December of 2020. U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney ruled eight months later that his parents must pay him back for destroying his property.
“There is no question that the destroyed property was David’s property,” Judge Maloney said Monday. “Defendants repeatedly admitted that they destroyed the property.”
Werking was living at home for a ten-month span after a divorce, before moving to Muncie, Indiana. He said his parents had no right to throw out his collection of films, magazines, and other items, the AP reported.
The items were decided to be valued at $29,000. The judge followed the value estimated by an expert. Werking’s parents will also have to pay $14,500 to their son’s attorney.
Once he moved out, Werking discovered that his pornography collection was missing.
“Frankly, David, I did you a big favor getting rid of all this stuff,” his dad said in an email
In response to the suit, Werking’s parents said they had a right to act as his landlords, as reported by the AP.
“Defendants do not cite to any statute or case law to support their assertion that landlords can destroy property that they dislike,” Judge Maloney explained.
"Other items?"
Inquiring minds want to know.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I'm just wondering what he got for his $30K?
10 months living rent-free at his parents house.
