I feel bad about something

Early this morning, actually earlier than my typical Saturday morning I arrive at work. Usually, I’m the first one there.
But I see a car that I don’t recognize in the parking lot, a Porsche.
I enter through a secret side door, and upon entering….I see no one and I hear nothing.
Quiet.
Everything is still.
I start my morning routine by moving some stuff around, by default, I am making noise. As I go past one of the rooms (which had its door wide open)….a dark quiet room….I startle someone who was asleep in there. I don’t know this guy. He’s on the slim side with longish hair.
He’s clearly startled by my presence….I’m a big hulking guy….and we don’t know each other. I try to keep the peace and maintain a cool and collected atmosphere…I politely greet him, and I continue about with what I was in the middle of doing.
I finish my early morning routine….and return to find him, but he’s gone, and no sign of the Porsche outside.
A couple of my coworkers show up and I let them this.
They know him and suspect that he’s homeless. They immediately want to confront and reprimand him.
I feel bad, I want to help him find actual help.
There’s a phrase that I used to my coworkers

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

Homeless guy in a Porsche?

@EldritchFox weird, right?

he asked one of my female coworkers out...so, out of her curiosity, she googled him and found out that he has his own wikipedia page....he is an inventor, and electrical engineer. So, I guess he's on the spectrum type of brilliant with an unsteady ability to control his own life.

If that man owns a Porsche, then I suspect that he COULD find a room somewhere. IF he traded the Porsche for it.

We can never know the circumstances of homeless people until we befriend them and speak to them...and I am sure his story is an interesting one.

@4meAndyou turns out that he's googleable

he might be on the spectrum
