David Werking was 42 years old and had a collection he treasured like gold: 12 boxes of erotic magazines and movies, plus two boxes of naughty toys.
He was getting divorced and temporarily moved into his parents’ house in Grand Haven, Michigan. What a mistake.
When he settled in Muncie, Indiana, he discovered that Paul and Beth Werking had thrown everything in the trash. His dad even emailed him explaining that he had done him “a huge favor”.
David didn’t see it the same way. He sued them, and a federal judge in Michigan ruled in his favor: the collection was worth around 29.000 dollars, and his parents will have to pay him $30.441.
The next time they want to clean an adult child’s room, maybe they should ask first.
