Lindsay Lohan to be questioned by police over $49k jewelry theft

fp_3149673_lohan_lindsay_riv_061209

Lindsay Lohan has infamously famous sticky fingers. She’s also got some expensive taste, coupled with some severe money problems. And most importantly, Lohan is incapable of caring about anyone beyond herself. So it should really come as no surprise to a British jeweler that she made off with $49k worth of their jewelry that they’d loaned a magazine for a photo shoot. Lohan can’t be bothered to return their calls or even bother to defend herself. She’s got a long history of swiping expensive items that don’t belong to her – though this time, she’ll be talking to the cops about it.

Holy Moly can exclusively reveal that Lindsay Lohan is to be questioned by police in connection with the disappearance of £30,000 worth of jewellery from a magazine shoot. Lindsay was photographed in London for the forthcoming shoot and according to sources was bowled over by the rocks:

“She kept going on about the jewels asking if she could have them. We all thought she was joking!” The jewellers realised the £30k worth of bling was missing after the shoot and contacted the magazine, who denied any knowledge of their whereabouts.

Requests for information, or for the return of the swag, has been repeatedly put to Lindsay’s representatives, but two weeks later both magazine and jewellers have yet to receive any form of response. This has left them with no alternative but to pass the case on to British police.

This isn’t the first time Lindsay has been linked with stolen stuff. Louis Vuitton reportedly refuse to deal with her anymore after she repeatedly stole stuff from their shoots:

According to the New York Post:

“Louis Vuitton had sent over some samples for her to wear in the shoot. Lindsay kept shoving the clothes into her bag, and a stylist’s assistant kept getting them out of the bag, only to have Lindsay keep trying to take them. She ended up walking off with a very expensive shirt and some other items – which screwed Louis Vuitton because they were set to go to Vogue, W and Harper’s Bazaar for other shoots. They were furious and kept trying to get their clothes back, but . . . Lindsay walked out with them and never returned calls.”

No official confirmation from the police regarding Linday’s involvement yet, but watch this space.

I’m surprised Lohan’s gotten away with pissing off a company as big as Louis Vuitton. And repeatedly asking if she could just have $49k worth of jewelry? How freaking awkward is that? And then how obvious is it when the stuff just goes missing? Lindsay Lohan: criminal mastermind. You heard it here first.

Lohan’s long history of stealing expensive stuff isn’t limited to the rich and powerful. She stole $10,000 worth of designer clothing from her former friend, model Lauren Hastings. Of course Lohan denied denied denied, and absolutely nothing happened to her. Good to know that all you need to do to get away with stealing expensive stuff is just say “No I didn’t.” It’s amazing anyone ever ends up behind bars!

A year ago Lohan also stole an $11,000 fur coat from stranger after spying it at a club. She’d openly admired it in front of several people, then the coat went missing from the club’s coatroom. And just to prove what a freaking moron Lindsay Lohan is (in case you were in doubt), she was photographed wearing it later that night by the paparazzi. The woman had to hire a lawyer to get her jacket back from Lohan, who refused to acknowledge any wrong doing.

I’m not up-to-date on all the technicalities of the British legal system, but I know there are a few unexpected twists and turns in there. I hope one of them is that they still use the stocks for theft. Or the chopping off of a hand. According to Lindsay she has no idea what her hands have been up to, so it seems like the most logical solution.

Here’s Lindsay Lohan leaves Hollywood Tow after retrieving her Maserati on June 12th. I’m surprised she didn’t just steal it back. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .

    If this turns out to be true, her future in the business is over. Winona Ryder never really came back after her theft arrest and she was a lot more established. Lindsay is very talented and it is a shame she is so screwed up.

  2. Orangejulius says:

    This is even more messed up than I thought. I wonder how high she is when she’s doing this stuff?

  3. BlueSkies says:

    Some people only steal when they’re high or drunk.

  4. alecto says:

    There’s a blind item I got from dlisted who got it from Holy Moly about a celebrity that recently went to London for a photo shoot. The make up artist found LICE in her eyebrows. EWWWW!!!

  5. HEB says:

    I dont think this will have the Winona effect, hell she’s already done it several times as you’ve mentioned and no one (besides up gossip obsessed peeps) really notices

  6. tasteT says:

    This does not surprise me one bit, her sense of entitlement and desperation.. factor in drugs, what a horrible combination…

    damn stealing and putting stuff in your bag, lifting someone’s fur jacket???
    SMDH

  7. bigfish says:

    Damn, its a wonder Herby isn’t missing.

  8. the original kate says:

    hmmm…maybe she and winona ryder should become BFFs. they have alot in common: missing careers, sticky fingers, bad dating history.

  9. Codzilla says:

    alecto: I read that, too. I’m wincing just thinking about it. YUCK.

  10. Sauronsarmy says:

    Why the hell does she keep getting hired for magazines? What the hell has she done that makes her even REMOTELY relevant?

  11. yasmin says:

    GRRRRRRRR. Her entitlement really pisses me off. I mean, who does she think she is? Could you imagine actually asking if you can have (not buy!) that much jewelery. And wtf? If youre going to steal something, act like you hate it before hand! lolz! What a douche bag.

  12. hunnybe says:

    @ Bigfish… hahahahahahah.Only because it couldn’t fit in her bag.(giggle)

  13. Miss I says:

    She needs to get her act together. There are people who are worse off than her. Okay Lindsay, you’ve had time to feel sorry for yourself, and that’s fine, now put one foot in front of the other and focus on your career.

  14. Jean says:

    She has gone beyond being a tabloid joke. I think she is so unbalanced and sick – her career is over. Who would hire her in a film? What magazine is now going to want to feature her? Her acting isn’t all that good, and her looks are diminishing. I think before long she will be in the hospital not for rehab, but for psychological help.

  15. Lardy Chops says:

    The press in the UK is reporting that the jewelry is worth nearer £250,000. If that’s true, it becomes a crown court offence punishable with more than 6 months in jail and the police will be taking it pretty seriously.

  16. Nony says:

    I’m glad someone has finally stopped accepting this sort of shit from her and got the police involved! As long as nothing ever really happens when she steals, it rewards itself. The girl needs a good hard bitchslap from reality.

  17. boo says:

    Wasn’t she sporting a diamond ring on her finger when she flew from London with Samantha about two weeks ago and there were comments that it was an engagment ring????

  18. Anoneemouse says:

    Well why in the world would she be worried about repurcutions for her own actions? She’s never had to pay the price for ANYTHING. She steals, she lies, she gets caught carrying cocaine on her, she has 2 DUIs within a month’s time and really….what price did she pay?

    One day, Lindsay, you WILL have to pay the price. Guaranteed.

  19. Anoneemouse says:

    Gee…maybe that’s why Nicole Ritchie doesn’t want her in her house? Hmmmm

  20. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    Oooooooh please please let her have stolen it. London is NOTHING like Hollywood and it doesn’t matter how supposedly ‘famous’ this wh0re is, she will be behind lock and key before she can say ‘what jewellery’. Hahahaha, can’t wait.

  21. Spoild says:

    Thus it begins….Come on folks, we all know she isn’t stable. I wonder how long it will take for her to shave her head and totally go off the deep-end like another white trash celebrity we know. Maybe she and Britney should get together because this is beyond just stealing, she needs psychiatric help. Any bets on how soon she will have her big meltdown?
