Lindsay Lohan's Past Theft Scandals Could Come Back To Haunt Her
Posted on Wed Feb 9th, 2011 10:47am PDT By X17 Staff
As you know, Lindsay Lohan will be arraigned at 1:30pm today at the Airport Courthouse in Los Angeles, and she's being charged one count of felony grand theft for allegedly stealing a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store in Venice.
Lohan reportedly returned the missing jewelry, and though attorney Shawn Chapman Holley "vehemently denies" her client did anything wrong, things aren't looking good for the 24-year-old actress.
LA County District Attorney Danette Meyers is reportedly coming down hard on Lohan, as she believes the starlet has a history of stealing expensive things and getting away with it. You see, the DA has reportedly made a list of all the people who have accused Lohan of pilfering items over the years, and even though she was never formally charged, it does show a pattern of behavior, which is the main reason she's being prosecuted for felony grand theft.
So what kind of dirt does DA Meyers have on Lohan? Let's take a look:
It's also being reported that Lohan's past run-ins with the law (most notably, her two DUIs and her repeated disrespectful behavior towards the legal system) are also going to come back and bite her in the butt today, so it should be interesting to see what happens!

So what kind of dirt does DA Meyers have on Lohan? Let's take a look:
- In May of 2008, Columbia University student Masha Markova accused Lohan of stealing a $12,000 mink coat from an event at NYC nightclub 10ak on January 26, 2008. The coat was returned, but it was in such bad shape, Markova went after Lindsay seeking compensation for damages, and in 2009 Lohan and Markova reportedly reached a financial settlement.
- Just days after Markova's accused Lohan of jacking her fur coat, model Lauren Hastings came forward and fingered the actress for stealing thousands of dollars worth of her clothes from her NYC apartment. The model says she was away on a job when her house-sitter hosted a party at her residence, and eyewitnesses told her they saw Lohan taking pieces from her wardrobe and handing them to her bodyguard! Hastings filed a police report, but the DA's office didn't press charges against Lohan, due to "insufficient evidence."
- In June of 2009, Elle magazine reported $400,000 worth of Dior diamond jewelry going missing after a photo shoot with Lohan in London. Scotland Yard investigated the incident, but the magazine later defended the actress, and no charges were ever filed.
- In April of 2010 Lohan was accused of taking a $35,000 Rolex from an acquaintance, but after being questioned by authorities, no charges were filed and the owner asked police to stop investigating.
- In January of 2011 Lohan was accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from Kamofie & Company in Venice, and DA Meyers reportedly has a surveillance video which shows Lindsay walking out of the store with the bling. Though sources close to Lohan insist it was all a misunderstanding, it seems as though the owner of the store and the DA are taking the matter lightly, and if convicted, Lohan could end up back behind bars.
It's also being reported that Lohan's past run-ins with the law (most notably, her two DUIs and her repeated disrespectful behavior towards the legal system) are also going to come back and bite her in the butt today, so it should be interesting to see what happens!
