Since 2011, Darrell Sheets has enjoyed a long and romantic relationship with Kimber Wuerfel. Storage Wars Darrell Sheets has a net worth of $4.5 million while Kimber Werfel is a successful real estate agent of Orange County. The two first laid eyes on each other while behind the wheel, on the open road, through their car windows when Darrell was making his way towards the 55 and 91 interchange in California.
After they exchanged glances, Darrell wasn’t able to resist the urge to tail her car for a number of miles before finally handing her his number through a piece of paper. So basically, he was driving in California when he accidentally spotted Kimber on her car and started stalking her thereafter. Although it sounded a bit creepy, the move worked and remarkably, Kimber called him on the number he gave. The two clicked instantly the moment they dated. Darrell even relocated to Huntington Beach from San Diego just to grow closer to Kimber. Eventually, the pair got so close that in less than a year they became engaged in March of 2012.
Faceless Bills Make Money
Another astonishing discovery with a little twist of dark to it occurred when an unidentified bidder purchased a unit from the Dotsons for $400. On the surface, the unit appeared to be filled with just an assortment of junk. To the pleasant surprise of its owner though, there was a vintage trunk that held an amazing $24,000 in cash hidden amongst the pool of garbage.
The amount of cash on the locker alone was already enough to put the find on the list of largest payouts managed by the Dotsons but that was not the most surprising aspect at all. The most shocking part was that every bill had its face cut out from it. Yup… for reasons unknown, the former owner of the locker went the extra mile to take out the face in the middle of every bill, leaving a trunk filled with faceless bills. Fortunately for the new owners, the bills were still considered legal tender which means that they still retain their true monetary value.
Brandi Takes Adult Film Distributor To Court
One of the female stars of the show, Brandi Passante, won a legal battle over a man alleged of propagating a false video of Passante with illicit contents on the web. Federal judge James V. Selna of the U.S. District Court in Central California found Hunter Moore, former operator of the website “Is Anyone Up”, guilty for the violation of contempt. Moore was ordered to eliminate the video of Passante from the sites that he posted them on.
A fine for $50 for every day that he fails to remove the video was imposed by the court. The fine would double after two weeks of non-compliance. The lawsuit was filed by Brandi’s camp in 2013 and originally featured $2.3 million worth of claim in damages. She would eventually end up with just a meager $75 in compensation. For Brandi though, it wasn’t about the money but more on clearing her name and image as a celebrity and person in real life
Barry Has A Famous Family
Prior to his appearance in Storage Wars, Barry Weiss already had some idea about reality TV since he is the godfather of Jesse James.

If this is indeed true, this also makes Barry part of a legendary lineage as well!
Hester’s Lawsuit
In December of 2012, Dave Hester filed a lawsuit against A&E and the producers of Storage Wars. Hester declared that he was booted out from the reality TV show following his complaint regarding the producers of the show and their purposeful rigging of storage units. Hester’s legal complaint exclaimed: “The truth is that (producers) regularly salt or plant the storage lockers that are the subject of the auctions portrayed on the series with valuable or unusual items to create drama and suspense for the show.” Hester further revealed that the producers began planting items in units during the very first season of the show.
He also said that, following his complaint, only lockers that other participants purchased where planted and the ones that he purchased were intentionally excluded. Because of this, Hester asserted that he looked mediocre compared to his competitors of the show and was forced to close several of his own shops as a result.
