![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
As TMZ first reported, Lindsay Lohan's Hermès Birkin bag, which contained up to $1 million in merchandise and asthma medication, was recovered by London's Metropolitan Police, but there was no word if any of the contents inside the pricey bag were missing.
TMZ spoke to Scotland Yard and can now report that the handbag was returned to Lohan with no property taken or removed from it.
Scotland Yard added that the "investigation is being treated as recovered lost property. The investigation is now over."
Ironically, Lohan's bag was returned with the help of the paparazzi.
According to "EXTRA," London police spent five hours in the offices of Big Pictures analyzing their video footage of the incident and were able to retrieve all of Lindsay's belongings.
Lohan's lawyer issued a statement thanking Darryn Lyons, Chairman of Big Pictures, adding "for once the paparazzi have finally been of help to her today."
Big Pictures released a statement to TMZ saying "Darryn Lyons and all at Big Pictures were very happy to assist Lindsay and the police with the safe return of her property and hope that she enjoys the rest of her stay in London."

Her bag contained her pricey jewelry and her much needed asthma medication. Probably her cigarettes too:)
"up to $1 million in merchandise and asthma medication" Either "asthma medication" is code for something else, or it was $999,995 in merchandise and a $5 inhaler. Why else would she have been crying? How comforting to know that Scotland Yard took time off from the War on Terror to help her out so quickly.
You know how BIG Scotland Yard is?
They probably sent 2 officers to do this. Just as they would do anyone else.
Because she's famous, she'd get more publicity over it. Just as anyone else famous would
Get over it
Don't care who you are...leaving your Hermes bag with about 1 mill in jewelery? I don't leave my purse alone with even ten bucks in it....that's asking for it.....
I wondered this yesterday, and I wonder it again today...Did paparazzi take (borrow) it? I could see some ambitious photog taking the bag just to get a look at her personal effects. Funny...the bag just "appeared" with nothing taken. It sounds like someone curious might have swiped it just to have a look.
Regardless, Ms. Lohan is a *VERY* lucky young lady. Next time she should keep such things firmly in her grasp or make a security guard carry it for her. It doesn't make sense to be so careless with a bag containing that much worth. As a matter of fact, why would you CARRY that much worth of personal effects on you?
Boo-hoo...
The thing that ticks me off is the cops are quick to respond to some
snot nosed, inconsiderate, selfish, spoiled, boozin, pill poppin bad
actress whilst the little ole lady on the next street is bein ruffed up and havin HER purse STOLEN by some thug.
Its silly that this is even on TMZ. The next story is going to be how a celebrity checked their mailbox and had a TON of mail. WOW!
Anything to help her drunk friend Paris out by refocusing the media attention on herself.
What a dumb broad. Why bring so much jewelry with you? She's an annoying twit.
