He who tries to take advantage of another man’s misfortune will eventually get his comeuppance. That’s exactly what happened to Richard Taylor, the man who was accused of “illegally removing” over 30 of Paul Walker’s car collection less than 24 hours after the Fast and Furious star’s untimely death in 2013.
Taylor and Paul Walker’s estate reached a settlement to take back control of a significant portion of the collection after the estate filed a lawsuit against Taylor last year, claiming that he hid the cars and refused to tell Walker’s family where he stowed them as a way to try to extort money from the estate. The lengthy legal battle eventually reached its resolution when the two sides amicably settled, prompting the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss the lawsuit.
Details of the settlement have been kept confidential, but a lawyer from the Walker family confirmed that one of the agreements between the two sides was the return of the missing cars from the collection back to its owner, or at least in this case, to Walker’s estate.
The settlement brings to an end one of the most surreal episodes that came out after Walker’s tragic death and that the late actor’s missing cars – a 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a 2008 BMW M3, a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria, a 2004 GMC truck, and three 1995 BMW M3s, are all finding its way home.
