EXCLUSIVE: Lindsay Victim of Major Theft

Posted Sep 7th 2006 7:01PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned that Lindsay Lohan became a grand theft victim at Heathrow Airport in London on Thursday. Scotland Yard tells TMZ a "theft of a bag at Heathrow Airport was reported to police by a 20-year-old woman." Sources say the contents of the missing bag total upwards of $1 million.

They continue to say "it is alleged that as the woman exited the Terminal One building, she noticed that an orange Hermès handbag was missing from her suitcase trolley." The bag, according to police, contained "a quantity of jewelry."

Lindsay's rep, Leslie Sloane, confirms to TMZ the theft occurred and that Lindsay is extremely upset about the loss of personal belongings. "She is begging for the return of the items," Sloane says. "She doesn't care how she gets them back, she just wants her stuff back."

The Hermès Birkin bag that was stolen also contained Lindsay's much needed asthma medication.

Scotland Yard says they are investigating the matter but, as of yet, have no suspects.

46. Seems funny to me that TMZ is quick to post this and nothing about the fact that her supposed 'exposed firecrotch' was a FAKE. Especially since they had a link to the article from another website up a few hours ago. All these posters that start to ridicule and torment these celebrities just want something to make themselves feel better.

47. I've lost my dog ray ban sun glass and I cried too. Though I would have cried louder if I lost my dog. Luckily it was just the dog's sunglass that got lost.

48. Maybe her "stalker" did it! Yeah....that's the ticket. Remember him? Maybe he followed her to England, wanted to give her some more roses, and she blew him off again. Sooooooooo....now he's got something to remember her by. And he's got a way to buy more roses for her. Lindsay....PLEASE......just GO AWAY!!!

49. I am surprised how sorry I feel for her. I am genuinely sincere. I want to hug her and try to help. A little while later, I was amazed by these feelings since I am facing an eviction and searching desperately for a place to live that I can afford for a family of 5.
I guess it does not matter what the circumstance is, we hate to see someone hurting. At least I do!

50. She is pretty lame to be carrying a million dollars worth of jewelry around in an airport, if that is indeed true. I don't see how she could have a mill in jewels. It's not like she's been paid $20 million per picture. Why in the hell would anyone put a bag holding a million dollars worth of anything on a suitcase trolley. And as for her precious, much needed asthma medicine, she should just smoke another cigarette and she'll feel all better. She pretty much makes an ass of herself to the public almost dailey. If she did lose that much jewelry, she deserves it for not keeping a tight hold on her bag. I take better care of my purse, and there sure isn't much in it.

51. You know, just because the kid is known for having poor judgement, that doesn"t make her any less human than the rest of us. Wealth and fame aren't a guarantee against hardship, just a buffer.

53. Why would you travel with expensive jewels in an expensive purse that screams "I have lots of money" ... and leave it on a trolley while turning your back? Dayum ... she DOES live in a fantasy world!

56. Where were all the camera people that always seem to be around her and why didn't they photograph it??? God knows they catch everything else. They could have been heros.

58. The difference between her purse being stolen and mine is probably $999,980.00. It feels awful having anything stolen, more so when it is your personal belongings. Who knows she might have had her new ring in there. That would probaly account for most of the million. There are a bunch of pictures of her carrying that bag around...when they were in Hawawii, when they left LA, arriving in Venice. I don't think she was careless just human. Oh and TMZ shame on you for lying about her picture. Had one too many drinks with Peres, huh?

59. it's stupid to carry $1 million of anything in a bag.

Also since that 1 guy had $120,000 seized even though he committed no crime, carrying a large quantity of money is considered grounds to suspect illegal activity. Therefore I propose anyone who carries $1 million in jewels to be a jewel thief and if found the items should be confiscated and sold to buy crack and donuts for Homeland Security.
