A Palm Springs man employed by a moving company is accused of stealing more than $1 million in personal items belonging to a Palm Beach County couple, according to an arrest report.

Nelson J. Morel, 30, is facing charges of grand larceny of $100,000 or more and dealing in stolen property. Morel was released from the Palm Beach County Jail on Saturday after posting a $15,000 bond.

In March 2016, the victims had their belongings moved from their Singer Island home to a storage facility operated by All My Sons Moving & Storage while their new home was being constructed in Tequesta, the report said.

On April 24, the victims had their belongings delivered to their new home and found that items including rare paintings, small furniture pieces and ceramic statues were missing, the report said.

A few days later, an antiques dealer who had sold the victims a unique ceramic centerpiece found the item for sale online on eBay. The victim checked the eBay seller’s account and found more stolen items on the site, the report said.

Police were contacted but because the victim did not want to lose the pieces, she had a family member’s employee contact the eBay seller and purchase back a few of the stolen items, the report said.

The employee arranged with the eBay seller, who turned out to be Morel, for an in-person pickup. The parties met at a Starbucks on Jog Road in Greenacres, where Morel and the vehicle he arrived in were photographed surreptitiously, according to the report. Plans were made to buy more of the stolen items from Morel.

The victims then contacted the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and handed over their evidence.

A manager with All My Sons told PBSO detectives that Morel had been accused in November or December by a co-worker of stealing from storage containers at the company’s Jupiter center, where the victims’ belongings were being kept. When Morel was switched as a precaution to the company’s Boynton Beach site, he stopped showing up for work.

The value of the items allegedly stolen by Morel "could very well exceed $1,000,000," the report said.

PBSO warned this month that public storage facilities have been targeted by burglars hundreds of times since February.
