Last year, La Lohan "mistakenly" took home an $11,000 mink coat which belonged to a Columbia University student from a private New York club. When the girl came across a picture of Lindsay wearing the mink in OK! magazine, she notified the club and eventually got it back, although she claimed it stunk of "cigarettes and liquor." Later that same week, model Lauren Hastings/Shia LaBeouf's ex-girlfriend claimed Lindsay stole thousands of dollars worth of clothing and accessories out of her closet. Though she had five witnesses who "all said they saw Lindsay Lohan, basically in my closet, handing a bag full of clothes to her bodyguard,” police did not press charges against Lindsay due to insufficient evidence. “I contacted Lindsay and said, ‘Look, I know you stole my clothes,'" says Lauren. "She then said I was completely delusional, I was pathetic.” None of the items were recovered.
While these three instances could be fabricated or embellished, it does make Lindsay a suspect in the most recent and most extreme theft, which occurred at a June 6 shoot for British ELLE. A custom Dior necklace and earrings worth $411,316 disappeared and were reported missing two days later by magazine staffers. English police have begun their investigation and intend to question Ms. Lohan in person.
Whoever took the jewels clearly didn't think about the fact that the custom pieces are useless possessions, as they cannot be worn in public without being identified. Is someone strapped for cash and hoping to sell the items to a pawn shop? We'd like to hope the items were misplaced, or, um, borrowed by someone on the set and will be returned, but as of now there are no updates to report.
