Fave Lindsay Lohan news of the day: Evidently, our girl LiLo swiped an $11,000 mink fur coat at a private party that a bunch of rich, young people were attending in NYC in January. Masha Markova, a 22-year-old college student, attended the party and left the coat—an heirloom from her grandmother—in a bin with other coats. When it was time to leave, it was gone. Two weeks later, while flipping through OK!, Markova spotted a paparazzi shot of Lindsay wearing the coat on the night in question. She called her lawyer, who then called Lindsay's lawyer, and two days later, she got the coat back, which was "reeking of cigarettes and booze with a slight tear in the lining." Markova is requesting $10,000 from Lindsay for "the unauthorized, three-week rental." [NY Post]

Uh-oh. I don't think BAngieB will be happy about this, LiLo!
And this from the girl who said she was wearing someone else's jeans last year? Can she not get her own wardrobe? Jesus.
Finders Keepers, sucker.
Also: If you leave an heirloom in a bin, you deserve to have it stolen by Lilo. Just sayin.
BAngieB, what's up with your pretty, pretty kleptomaniac girl?
This girl is an amateur. Sell it on eBay!!
One day, I'm gonna marry that girl.
This.is.awesome.
... bummer that it smelled like booze...
wait, isn't Lindsay suppose to be quitting smoking also?
As someone who has a mink coat inherited from her grandmother, I would be PISSED if this happened to me.
Who the hell would leave an heirloom in a damn bin?! You're just asking for it to get stolen! Next time, leave it on the street with a sign that says, "Take me!"
@brookidy: just about to ask the same thing.
*waits eagerly to see how BAngieB handles this*
Who wears an heirloom in a bin at a party?
@hortense: Yeah, but if you're at a party and that's where all the coats are going, what else can you do with it? Fur is heavy, I'm sure the poor thing just didn't want to carry it slung over her arm for the whole party...[/sarcasm]
@hortense: seriously. an eleven thousand dollar coat does not go into a common bin.
loho is rocking it like parker posey in party girl in the coat room...i'd endorse it, but really, she should just buy her own damn fur.
Leaves, not wears. Psh.. no excuse for that.
@hortense: Thank you! Who takes an heirloom to a party and leaves it in a bin?
@perennial: Someone who deserves to have it stolen...er....borrowed.
ha! i had a girl on my track team steal a pair of shoes (rather distinctive shoes, i might add) and then wear them to school the next day. despite the fact that our paths crossed several times a day. needless to say, i got my shoes back.
Mai sticky fingerz
let me sho u dem
Um, as hortense said :-)
@KittenFluff: @formergr: That said, I tend to agree with formergr. If I'm wearing my coat, I keep a close eye on it, because it's something that is irreplaceable and of great sentimental value to me.
This reminds me of that episode of Sex and the City with the stolen shoes. If your article of clothing is worth more than my car, perhaps you shouldn't leave it lying around?
What's with all the blame the victim questions? She had a very nice coat that's been in her family for years and appropriately wore it to an upscale event. Why is is her fault some drunk starlet took it? Should she have just carried it all night? Only worn it at home in front of the mirror?
@perennial: Who wears an heirloom period. It's an heirloom, meaning it has special meaning, is probably very old and fragile, and has no business being out of climate-controlled storage.
@KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: It is rather stupid. I had my $10 earmuffs stolen when they were attached to my bag, and you don't think someone will take your mink?
GOTTA LOVE THAT LOHAN!
Isn't that theft? I would've had her arrested.
Also, fur munchers?
Tee hee hee.....
Or, you know, you could not wear an heirloom fur coat to that kind of party.
First of all, I'm calling shananigans on this story.
However, if it is true:
It was an honest mistake, she has a coat just like it.
And, it did NOT reek of booze.
And my pretty, pretty girl is doing just fine. There is no reason for her to just steal a coat.
Its just like that Sex and the City episode, where Carrie loses her SHOES!!
/snark
I love Lindsay, but that is a punk-ass move.
@BlondeGrlz: And in this case it's fur. Not something you want someone from PETA getting their hands on if you value it so much.
Didn't this just happen on Gossi Girl? Lindz, you don't have to steal to be popular with the rich NYC kids!
@Busted Weave: But then your friends might forget how fabulously rich you are.
@NefariousNewt: I wear heirloom jewelry. What is the point of having it if it is just going to sit in a box?
That said, I don't leave said heirloom in a box by the door...
My grandmother left me a fur, and in order to keep it safe, I would never wear it to a party. Also, because it is made out of dead animals.
One time I caught a roommate wearing my underwear. I never said anything b/c really, do you want that back?
@Macloserboy: Drunk startlet? Excuse me?
@Archetype: I know, vulgar.
@crushdmb: No, not theft, accident.
@BAngieB: But, it was in the Post. Therefore, it must be 103% true.
@bigtittycommittee: Nice reference. "Hello Chanel!"
@BAngieB: Not to incite anything, but if she does indeed have a coat just like it, how did the girl in question recognize her own coat in the paparazzi photo? Maybe we need more information.
i dreamt i was at a party and LiLo entered the bathroom looking for blow
i was like no you dont need it you're a gorgeous girl
she looked wrecked i lied to her
and then i was like i love doing coke but we cant tonight
(btw i dont do coke)
@onthecornerofparkerandwoolf: I had a girl swipe my $250 Peugeot watch when she came to my pool party and then wear it to school. I almost got suspended I beat her ass so good!
@Macloserboy: You took the words right out of my mouth. I was about to say "I love when we play blame-the-victim on Jezebel!"
@toast: Shit, my undies are expensive.
I wouldn't want them back, but I'd hide them.
@daftpunkisplayingatMYhouse: i thought the SAME thing. Except, Jenny kept the dress - I think? Right? I may have missed an episode (hangs head in shame).
@Macloserboy: They must think this is the Consumerist.
@Macloserboy:
Thank you! Stealing is not cool. Really. The fact that she can actually afford to purchase things that most of us cannot makes it that much less cool.
I don't care if it's an heirloom or a $20 jean jacket from Sears.
@Macloserboy: Seriously, I was just gonna come in here to say the same thing. I mean, I probably wouldn't stash a multi-thousand-dollar heirloom along with everybody else's ratty North Face, but if it's a private party for rich young things, then why not wear the heirloom fur? I don't think the victim-blame is totally apropos either.
I love BangieB's pretty, pretty girl just as much as any other Jezebelle should, but she can buy her OWN fur, y'know?
Why isn't LiLo more sensitive to teh animals?
1. That is fucking retarded.
2. Also, the supposed value of the coat.
3. If you're dumb enough to leave your coat "in a bin" at a party full of twenty-somethings, don't be cryin' over no spilled bloody milk when it gets ruined, stolen or worse. Yes, worse.
Dumbass.
And by "bin" she meant "the third stall in the men's bathroom".
What kind of tacky joint has a coat bin vs. hangers? Was Lindsay attending a kindergarten graduation?
Oh, and really. Who throws a shoe?
@Macloserboy: Blame the victim? I suppose I wasn't looking at her as much as a victim. She got her coat back, at least. And, I bet she never leaves it in a box at a party again.
It was a learning experience. We all need those.
@ceejeemcbeegee (AKA!): i was a goody-two-shoes on excellent terms with the vice principal, so after i confronted her (and she claimed they were hers, but she didn't remember where she got them) i simply walked to his office, said "so-and-so stole my shoes, i'd like them back, please." he called her to his office, and she broke down. i had them back by the end of the day.
At least while LiLo had it PETA didn't go throw red paint on it. Party stench and a small tear are nothing compared to what could have happened. I wonder if your tongue will go numb if you lick it now?
@Xavoc: Random task, show them what you do.
Not only is she wearing a seriously ugly fur coat (click the link), she's wearing it with SHINY LEGGINGS.
@Macloserboy: I think private party does not necessarily equal upscale event. The latter usually does not offer the guests bins as though they were in line at the airport. I'm guessing it was a house party.
@Macloserboy: Thank you for that!
@NefariousNewt: Actually, a lot of people where heirlooms. A dress/ring/coat doesn't really do much sitting in a box, rotting away. My Grandma would roll over in her urn if she thought we were stashing her jewelry in a safe-deposit box, never to see the light of day again.
@hypnotic: That's like, a haiku for people who can't count. Very existential, that is.
@sequined: She recognized it because her coat was missing. Everything is going to be just fine.
And my pretty, pretty girl is doing just fine. There is no reason for her to just steal a coat.
@BAngieB: True dat! I mean, she's going to be on Ugly Betty. Surely the swag there is worth much more than a ratty old fur coat.
@Sukie in the Graveyard: I dunno about the dress, but I know she connived her way into making the other girl think it would be in her best interest to pretend her mom gave it to her. Maybe Lindz should pull that? "Oh, honey, don't you remember? You gave it to me!"
