A man who sued his parents after they threw out his pornography and sex toy collection has been awarded more than $30,000.
According to the Associated Press, the parents of David Werking, 43, must now pay their son $30,441 after they discarded his pornography collection, which he claimed was worth nearly $29,000.
Additionally, the couple has to pay $14,519 to Werking’s attorney, Miles Greengard, MLive reported.

When I first read the title from People, I figured this was some 19-year-old kid who moved to college, and his parents cleaned out their room to put in a home gym. No, this is a 43-year-old man, which makes sense since nobody under 30 has a porn collection that’s not on your computer. I didn’t even know they sell porn on DVDs anymore or that porn magazines still existed. How many DVDs can you possibly have that it’s worth $29,000 or were they vintage VHSs, and that’s why they were so much. Were these vintage first issues of Playboy?
Werking moved to Michigan in 2016 to live with his parents, Paul and Beth Werking, after going through a divorce and did chores to cover his rent until moving to Indiana 10 months later.
When his parents brought his belongings to the new home, Werking noticed boxes containing his pornography and sex toys were missing.
He added, “We counted twelve moving boxes full of pornography plus two boxes of ‘sex toys’ as you call them. We began that day the process of destroying them and it took quite a while to do so.”

Nope, there were 12 boxes full of porn and 2 boxes of sex toys. My dude, maybe this is why you got divorced. Maybe your wife was sick of watching you crank it to titles like Lesbians In Tight Shorts and University Co-Eds. Were these sex toys he and his wife used together, or are we talking about 2 boxes full of pocket pussies? I want to imagine that the parents were like the Nazis and went ahead and burnt all of the magazines and DVDs. They were probably reading bible verses as they tossed dildos into the fire and prayed that their son would stop being possessed by the Devil.
My favorite part of the story wasn’t that he won $30K from his parents, that there were 12 boxes of magazines and DVDs, 2 boxes of sex toys; it was that this man did chores to cover his rent. Here is this 43-year-old bringing out the trash, doing dishes, mowing the lawn, and folding laundry. Then he goes around and gets $30K from his parents. There has to be some karma coming for this guy in the future.
