The owner of Kamofie & Company in Venice, California claims Lindsay Lohan stole a $2,500 necklace from their store after a recent shopping spree, and now X17online has spoken to the retailer about the incident.

Lohan wouldn't comment on the matter when we saw her at the Santa Monica Courthouse this morning, but an employee at Kamofie & Company tells X17online exclusively, "We aren't going to comment about the incident because we are letting the police handle it."

LAPD Pacific Division obtained a warrant to search Lohan's house, but a source close to the starlet tells X17 that one of her representatives returned the item of jewelry yesterday. "It was understood that she was allowed to wear the necklace for a certain period of time and return it -- that was always the deal," the source says. "She didn't steal anything and she returned it immediately when they asked for it back."

Do YOU think Lindsay pulled a Winona and shoplifted from the store? Or was it a simple misunderstanding?
