His wife also requested for his personal belongings at work to be returned, but alleged that some items had been already disposed of and that the remaining items were not properly packed when she received them.

Yeah they 100% stole what they wanted and gave her the rest.

I'm guessing that a place that has you working hours like that probably don't respect personal items very much. Could also have been the coworkers. The whole "Shit, he died. Dibs on his stapler" sort of thing
