Lindsay Lohan under investigation in disappearance of $5,000 necklace
Lindsay Lohan is under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department in connection with the possible theft of a $5,000 necklace from a store.
According to law enforcement sources, Lohan was seen in a store video wearing the necklace, which later went missing. After detectives began looking into the case and preparing a search warrant, a Lohan associate brought the necklace to the Pacific Division police station, the sources said.
The investigation, reported earlier Tuesday evening by Radar Online, is continuing.
The investigation is the latest problem for the actress, who is also under investigation in Riverside County for allegedly assaulting an employee at the Betty Ford Center.
Lohan spent three months at the center under orders from Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox, who spared the actress jail time in October after she tested positive for drugs. He directed her to stay at the center through January.
Fox warned Lohan that he would put her in jail for six months if she violated probation again. It was her fifth time in rehab and she has been to jail three times in connection with the case.
The employee accused Lohan of shoving her, but then told investigators she did not want to press charges. But Riverside County prosecutors said they are continuing to investigate the case. Lohan has denied any wrongdoing through her attorney.
Since leaving Betty Ford, she's been living in Venice.

She probably wanted to pawn it. To get quick cash. To buy more drugs. Duh!!

Enough of this hasbin. She is just another rich kid thinking she can do whatever she wants without any real consequences. They need to lock her up and Hollywood needs to throw her out (like that is going to happen). She isn't even worth the time anymore (even though she got me to write something). Lohan you need to go to jail and see what life is really about. You are just a thief and doper and your acting wasn't all that!

She'll try to say it was an accident. Obviously she was trying to support her crack habit.

she probably borrowed it for an event and didn't return it. that's what a lot of celebs do. (do you really think they BUY everything they wear?) they borrow goods and sometimes keep them. who wants to be the one who blows the whistle on a celebrity?

First her career and now this necklace. Things keep disappearing everywhere this girl goes.

LLo stole an $18,000 fur jacket from a party a few years ago.
What else is new. She's got no morals & poor parenting is the source.

She's the trainwreck that keeps on giving!

I can only imagine what would happen to me if I did something like this.

Is it the jewelry that was reported missing after the Elle magazine shoot in 2009?
You gotta figure that if Lohan was caught with stolen bling on a store video of all things, it means someone has been watching her like a hawk. How would you even get access to that, unless you went looking for it?

And her father is recovering from a heart problem. Two nothing stories.

Give her at least 5 years this time.

A simple "sorry 'bout that" and it'll all be cleared up...

Sounds like Lohan and Charlie Sheen may belong together......in a sewer.

This is not the first time she has pulled a stunt like this. A few years back, she stole a girls fur coat from a club in New York. Guess you can add kleptomaniac and thief to the long Lohan list.

Still a looser!

you people should be ashamed. Lohan has a real problem plus she is not the first person to have a drug problem so why the insults and negative things to say about her? If it were a family member of yours maybe you would think before tossing salt at them

Well Venice can have her - it's not like she has contributed anything to the US or the 'Arts'!

At the rate she's aging through a life of misadventure she should die of natural causes by 40.

Wow, all the opportunities this girl has had, and she constantly blows it... What a shame.

i think Lindsay should do some serious jail time. I think that she gets off to easy. She can't seem to keep herself out of trouble. I also think that being a celebrity has gone to her head. She is out of control and needs help.

Sober and Venice? That's like lose weight and Big Mac.

Here we go again...........

I thought it is called shop lifting once you step out of the store without buying or paying for the product; I hope they press charges against her.
