As the world was coming to terms with Paul Walker's untimely death, two young men were busy stealing wreckage from the Porsche Carrera GT in which the actor died, Saturday.
The incident happened Saturday night when the wrecked car was being towed. Walker's fans captured the theft in their phones, reports TMZ. This prompted police officials to take a note of the incident.
After investigation, the authorities arrested an 18-year-old identified as Jameson Witty Thursday, in Los Angeles. The sheriff issued a statement saying that Witty was being held on a $20,000 bail at Santa Clarita Valley Station. The second suspect, a 25-year-old man, said he was out of California and would surrender soon.

According to the witnesses, a man ran towards the towing truck in which the wrecked car was being taken and picked the car remains. Another man got out of his car, took a piece of the wreckage and went. Witty, in fact, posted the stolen red T-top photo on Instagram. "Piece of Paul walkers car, took it off a tow truck at a stop light," he boasted.
The authorities found the stolen red T-top roof panel of the Porsche in Canyon Country in north Los Angeles, while serving a search warrant at a house, reported The Guardian. However, the authorities did not mention how and what led them to the two suspects and the evidence against them.
According to media reports, the police are planning to file criminal charges of felony grand theft and tampering with evidence against the two suspects.
Walker, 40, died in a car crash along with a friend, Saturday. The actor attained fame for his movie series 'Fast and Furious.' The autopsy results stated that Walker died from traumatic and thermal injuries after the Porsche rammed on to a light pole and a tree and caught fire.
Meanwhile, Walker's family is planning a special funeral to honor him. "They have not decided when the funeral will take place, it is still a work in progress," a source told HollywoodLife. "They want to make sure that everyone who wants to mourn will be together and all schedules match. They hopefully will have more of an idea next week," the source added.
