Lilo Loses Phone, Goes Off On Good Samaritan Who Tries To Return It!

When they say no good deed goes unpunished, they were probably talking about the poor restaurant worker who was practically arrested in New York yesterday when he demanded proof that Lilo was the owner of the lost phone he was trying to return.

The NY Daily News says that the counterman of the Manhattan deli, Mohammed Hashan, was "cursed out" when he tried to get Lilo to prove that the phone left on his counter actually belonged to the actress.

Lilo went into the restaurant yesterday to get a cup of ice, but ended up leaving her phone on the counter.

Hashan says he chased after her to try to return the phone, but wanted proof it was hers before handing it over.

"I said, 'Is this your phone?' She said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Give me proof because there were more customers. If this is your phone, you know the number. If it rings, I'll give it to you.'"

But Lilo, perhaps shocked that he didn't know what an enormous celebrity she is, tried to snatch the phone. But when that didn't work, she had her friend call her phone. Course, the phone didn't actually ring. Uh-oh.

That's when Lilo lost it. "She said, 'I'm calling the police! I'm going to arrest you for not giving me my phone!'" Hashan told the paper. Geez, from her reaction, you might think she'd have some McSteamy-style naked video on there or something!

"Who is she? Is she a star? I'm no celebrity. I'm not nothing. I'm only a restaurant worker," said Hashan.

Lindsay's trusty friend Patrick called 911, the cops showed up and Hashan handed over the phone. They unlocked the device, saw pics of Lilo on the phone, and gave it back to her.

"I was just trying to be honest. Now I have police and trouble already," says Hashan.

That's what you get for daring to demand ID from the famous (and infamous) Lindsay Lohan!
