Looks like the stolen property story has been dropped for the oh we sent a check scenario...
WWW- Paris Hilton is weighing her legal options as bidding for her sizzling diaries and private photos is said to have topped $10 million.
Phoenix-based broker David Hans Schmidt told the Daily News that's how much he has been offered for items the hotel heiress thought were safely stored in an L.A. warehouse.
Hilton, 24, learned this week that the storage facility had gained title to her possessions when her locker rent went unpaid.
Among those possessions, Schmidt said, are 18 diaries in which Hilton opens up about her sexual adventures, photos and videotapes of her partying hard on yachts and in mansions, "sex toys," lingerie, furniture and computers.
Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said the "Simple Life" star had entrusted a small husband-and-wife moving company with her possessions in 2004 when she switched homes in the Hollywood Hills.
Mintz said Hilton's family had sent checks to the moving company to pay the storage bill. "We're trying to find out what happened," he said. Schmidt is now fielding tabloid offers for what he calls "a King Tut's tomb of scandal."
"Paris is welcome to bid," he said. "Everything was done according to the letter of the law. Her only recourse is against her representatives."
Mintz said, "All options are on the table."
Since Hilton had survived the 2003 release of a sex tape by her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon, Mintz said, "I believe that part of Paris' life is old news. It's already been explored and exploited."
