Lindsay Lohan, Kleptomaniac?

Posted on 24 May 2008 by JoyCeleb

It seems that Lindsay Lohan has developed a case of Winona Ryder syndrome. Lohan is being sued by a New York college student claiming the troubled actress stole her fur coat after a night at the same club in January.

The supposedly $12,000 sheared mink coat, a gift from her grandmother, belonged to Masha Markova. The 22-year-old claims she wore the coat to a birthday party at club 1 Oak, where she placed it in a bin with other coats.

Markova couldn’t find the coat at the end of the night, and wrote it off for good, as lost. As most people would, I mean, why put up a fight over a $12,000 coat?

The student said she didn’t think of it again until she was flipping through a February issue of OK! Magazine, and saw a picture of Lohan, wearing a similar fur coat.

Markova claims she knew instantly the coat was hers. “It was my coat,” she told the Post. “It was no doubt!” Of course not, lord forbid there be someone else in this world with a similar coat, especially not a high-profile celebrity that can actually afford to buy one.

Markova’s attorney Merril R. Cohen contacted Lohan’s attorney about the coat situation. On Valentine’s Day, the fur was delivered to Markova’s apartment by a rep from 1 Oak, it just needed to be dry-cleaned.

Still, even after the coat was returned, a lawsuit was filed in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, asking for unspecified damages.

The coat is back, what more could Markova want? Maybe for Lohan to reimburse her for the dry cleaning?
