Since the death of Jules Bianchi, his parents have been using their son's name for charity and have opened merchandise stores in the South of France, one of which was robbed this week.

Do not buy Bianchi merchandise at a bargain price

Christine Bianchi, Jules' mother, reported it on social media on Friday afternoon. "We want to inform you that the Jules Bianchi Association store in Brignoles was robbed last night. We think they want to sell the stolen items. It's about T-shirts for men and women and polos for children. Share this message as much as you can."

One of the charities they raise money and stuff for is the hospital in Nice. That is where Bianchi died in 2015, after being kept in a coma for months. The then 25-year old driver died from the injuries he suffered in an accident during the Japanese Grand Prix more than half a year earlier.
