We have no idea why the parents delivered the boxes. Maybe they agreed to for some reason that doesn’t make him a moocher. He stayed in their house temporarily after divorce because he didn’t have a home any longer. He stayed there and did work around the house in exchange for staying there that was the rent they agreed to. Once he found a home, he moved out again.
He was in their house for 10 months rent free. He brought porn into their home (12 boxes of it!) that his parents had asked him not to bring. He then moved out of state. He no longer lived in their home but had his porn stashed inside their home without their permission (they had expressly told him NOT to bring that into their home) and then he expected his parents to move it to him.
Dude has some kind of gall to be suing his parents over his own carelessness. It was not his parents' job to safeguard his porn and sex toys nor was it their duty to transport it to him across state lines.
I guess I missed an opportunity to sue my parents. I entrusted them with my vinyl album collection, about 300 albums. My mother saw one album by the band Free which displayed a light blue picture of a girl running from underneath her. You couldn't see any genitalia, but my mother thought it was over the top and burned all the albums in a burn barrel. I never thought to sue, couldn't have afforded it anyway, but never left anything with them again. I only remember a few of the albums as this happened almost 50 years ago.
And my comic collection. I had a number of issues and collections from the early 60s that I know for a fact are worth thousands today.

How do we know they expressly told him they didn’t want it? Did you see the post where I quoted the email that he sent his parents after they destroyed it? He specifically says in the email, if you didn’t want it there you should have told me and I’d have gone somewhere else. I still think they did want him to bring it there, so they would have an opportunity to destroy it.
To the rent free, they asked him to do work around the house in exchange for a living there which he agreed to do and which he did. That is not rent free he was living there by the terms that they both agreed to.
Apparently, they also agreed on the terms that his stuff would get delivered to him. We don’t know why the parents agreed to deliver his boxes, but apparently they did. So how are you blaming him for that?

My brother is insured for about $25,000, and none of his comics are mint grade. Many of them are simply reader quality. He didn’t just collect them as a child though, even when he was in his 30s and 40s, he would have comics on his Christmas list for us.

That's the thing. For such a valuable collection of porn you would think that the guy would have had it insured and had a good idea of its value. 10k-30k sounds like a rough guesstimate. Dude had no clue what his collection was worth and I think that his parents probably did tell him not to bring that into their house because they perceived that he had a problem.
Remember, he didn’t just win the lawsuit, he work he won on appeal in District Court as well. Obviously they know facts that we do not. They (court) hired an expert to value his collection, by the way.

You have to hire someone for an appraisal to get an exact worth. It’s very time-consuming, as each item has to be graded and then valued on its own. Perhaps he did not have the money to do that. Especially at that time I’m sure he did not. It has since been valued by an appraisal company hired by the lawyer.
Parrots were also ordered to pay $14, 000 in legal costs.
