Evidence: Helmut became the only heir to a 300-million Deutsche mark fortune. In 1998, Helmut's great grand-uncle, Baron Titten von Fritz, died gored and trampled by wild boar while game hunting. Rich but stingy, he bought a second-hand Vespa, gave his parents some money, and left Germany. Vespa (Italian pronunciation: [ˈvɛspa) is an Italian brand of scooter manufactured by Piaggio.
