Charlie Sheen's Mercedes takes a tumble: Take 2

For the second time this year, someone has stolen actor Charlie Sheen's car and driven it off Mulholland Drive.

A passerby called police at 2:53 a.m. Tuesday to report a car had been driven off a cliff in the 13300 block of Mulholland Drive, said Los Angeles Police Officer Carlos Amaya.

Firefighters found the silver 2010 Mercedes-Benz at the foot of a cliff but did not find a driver or passengers inside or nearby.

Police traced the license plate number to Sheen. They went to his home a few miles away in Sherman Oaks, where the actor said he wasn't aware his vehicle was missing and said he had last seen the car in his driveway at 4 p.m. 

It's the latest episode in a spate of troubles for Sheen, who has starred in the television comedy "Two and a Half Men" and the films "Platoon" and "Wall Street."

In a strikingly similar incident Feb. 5, someone stole Sheen's 2009 Mercedes-Benz, which was parked in his open garage with the keys inside, and crashed it into a ravine on Mulholland Drive.

A few days later, Sheen was charged with assault for a Christmas Day incident in Aspen, Colo., in which he allegedly held a knife to his wife's throat.

Police don't have any leads on who stole Sheen's car on Tuesday, but have towed it to their facility to dust it for fingerprints

Guess my first comment i posted was to much truth for you "drama kings and queens" to handle.. wow I apologize.. but after all i guess the reason my comment wasnt posted about Mr Sheen is because it was the truth and didnt have all the negativity about him or his life.. like i said leave the guy alone.. like he doesn't have enough on his shoulders already.. quit hatin' on the guy...
