The lovebirds stole our photog's camera, y'all!

First David Beckham, now R & J! Our snapper caught the two at Pete's Coffee in Santa Monica today -- he was pulling double-duty, shooting photos and video. When our photog put down his video camera on a table outside the store, to begin taking some pix, Reese and Jake exited and picked up the camera!


The couple said nothing, walked back inside the cafe - Jake with the camera in his hand - and when they emerged and our shooter asked where his camera was, the pair were silent! The camera appeared to be missing and R & J got in their car and left!


Our snapper went inside the cafe, checked all the tables, trash cans, asked around and no one offered any help.

Reese Witherspoon

Did Jake steal the camera? Did he trash it? Thief?????!!!!!
