How many breaks is this Hollywood celebrity tramp going to get? In addition to her bouts with alcohol and drug abuse, Lohan has a history of being sticky fingered.
In 2008, Li-Lo walked out of a New York nightclub with an $11,000 mink coat belonging to a Russian student. Lohan was able to avoid arrest and prosecution by reaching a settlement with the victim. In 2009, she was suspected of stealing $45,000 worth of jewels in London by taking them from a photo shoot with Elle magazine.
Louis Vuitton stopped using Lohan after she repeatedly walked off with their goods from photo shoots.
From the New York Post: “Louis Vuitton had sent over some samples for her to wear in the shoot. Lindsay kept shoving the clothes into her bag, and a stylist’s assistant kept getting them out of the bag, only to have Lindsay keep trying to take them. She ended up walking off with a very expensive shirt and some other items – which screwed Louis Vuitton because they were set to go to Vogue, W, and Harper’s Bazaar for other shoots. They were furious and kept trying to get their clothes back, but . . . Lindsay walked out with them and never returned calls.”
The latest investigation involves a $2,500 necklace reported stolen on January 22 from a jewelry store in the Venice section of Los Angeles. Surveillance cameras spotted Li-Lo wearing the necklace in the store at the time it was stolen. And since then she has been photographed on the streets wearing the stolen necklace.
Former prosecutor Susan Filan said on yesterday’s NBC Today show that, because the stolen necklace was returned to the jewelry store shortly before the cops were about to conduct a search, someone must have tipped Lohan off that LAPD was going to serve her with a search warrant. Filan also said that since she's been given five breaks by the courts, it was time to pull the plug on Li-Lo.
LINDSAY LOHAN BEING INVESTIGATED FOR JEWELRY THEFT

LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan is in the spotlight again for all the wrong reasons.
Police got a search warrant Tuesday to look for a $2,500 stolen necklace at the troubled actress' home near Venice Beach, a freewheeling boardwalk known for its mix of performers, tourist shops and seaside gym.
But before detectives could execute the warrant, someone — police wouldn't say who — turned in the necklace.
Now Lohan, who is still on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case, is being investigated for possible grand theft, said Officer Bruce Borihanh on Wednesday.
An e-mail message sent to Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, was not immediately returned.
The store in Venice reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22, roughly three weeks after the Mean Girls star was released from three months of court-ordered rehab that came after she admitted failing a drug test shortly after being granted early release from another treatment program.
Lohan, 24, is due in court on Feb. 25 for a probation hearing.
Lohan's frequent legal troubles, including lawsuits and two rehab stints and two trips to jail in 2010 alone, have led to the actress appearing more in court than on the big screen in recent years.
Her role as porn star Linda Lovelace in a biopic was recast while Lohan was being treated at Betty Ford.
The case of the stolen necklace is the second active police investigation that could return the former Disney star to jail if a judge determines she has violated her probation. Prosecutors in Riverside County are considering whether to press battery charges against Lohan over a December altercation the actress had with a worker at a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox warned Lohan at a hearing last year that he would send her back to jail if she violated the terms of her probation, which requires her to obey all laws and submit to frequent drug tests.
The investigation into the stolen necklace was first reported by celebrity website RadarOnline.com. Police would not release additional details about the item Wednesday morning.
