Diaries of a Madwoman -- Stolen?

Anna Nicole SmithNew allegations of cheating and thievery in the Anna Nicole saga. Lin Wood, the high-powered bull-dog attorney of Howard K. Stern has sent a notice to Heritage Auctions, Inc. over two of Anna Nicole's diaries listed as available on the site. Wood claims that the diaries were stolen and that the company, and the auction sponsor, Clips4Sale.com, are not legally entitled to hawk the items.

"Make no mistake: these items were stolen from Ms. Smith by one or more thieves," claims Wood's letter. "Ms. Smith's Estate intends to vigorously pursue the return of the diaries, will take whatever means necessary to secure their return, and will hold to account those persons and entities that have profited through their reprehensible acts at the expense of the Estate."

TMZ spoke with Thomas Riccio, the man claiming to be the original owner of the diaries, who denies Wood's claims, saying that "the facts he mentions in the letter are FALSE -- these diaries are NOT stolen, (They were obtained BEFORE her death) -- he is just trying to steal more money in the name of Anna Nicole." The diaries are handwritten journals from 1992 and 1994, and both auctions start at a whopping $26,000.

31. I would think that Greta will have something on woods new claim
I agree with everybody Howard has no claim to the estate or any of Annas possesions so his lawyer sure as hell doesnt have any right to file any thing
HKS must not be too concerned over DLs transition he has time to try this crap
And hold up the inquest and try to cause conflict for the hearing tomorrow

32. I wouldn't doubt being the crooked lawyer he is, HKS has documents signed by Anna naming him as her executor. Intertesting to see when they are dated.

35. 17.
Then I guess Larry should get the pictures. He is after all the daddy of the baby. And what does Stern have to do with the estate anyway. His involvement with the Estate died when Daniel died. He would have had nothing to do with it after Daniel turned 21, Howie baby was out of the picture. So now there is no will. Howard is a nothing, no husband, no baby dad, no nothing. Just a live in. Larry is the dad to the only living heir. Why isn't Wood representing the estate on Danielyne's behalf or on Larrys for Danielyne? Or did Larry gain a daughter and a Howie for life? Surely he didn't sell out.

Um, Lin Wood? How do you know what Ms. Smith's estate plans to do since you do NOT act for any Executor of said estate, nor has the estate been probated. Quit your huffing and puffing.

And how do you know they were stolen, because HK$$$$ told you so? Like he's a credible source! ROFLMAO

38. What I don't understand is why Howard wants to be the trustee.The trustee of what.Anna had nothing,or everthing was tied up from tax problems.Anna was probably in debt up to her eyeballs,and her debts will be taken out of her estate what ever it may be.Before anyone gets their hands on it.

39. After Friday hopefully Larry will get out of there with the baby and then he can start eliminating all of these jerks from the picture
They all know tomorrow is the day so they are doing what they can before Larry takes over every thing

40. I have never been in the company of such hateful people as you are. You are the future of the world? People are getting worse and worse each day. I thank God I had a normal life growing up and never had to resort to such hatred. You must have miserable lives since you think the worst of everyone.

God have mercy on you.

Why doesn't Koward hook up with Donna Hogan, ANS half sister, they are two of a kind, money sniffing mongers, this way Koward can have some likeness or whatever of Anna, damn psycho freaks.

43. Great going Lin Wood. About time that Howard Stern came out fighting for himself. He has always fought for Anna. Now lets hope that Virgie's and her spokes people who called him a murderer and people like Gretta who constantly villified him and called him a kidnapper are next. Hope Larry works with Howard in this for the benefit of Anna's estate and the baby.

44. Are you people stupid, ignorant or uneducated. Or simply all three. You freakin' low-life, scum-sucking, judgemental idiots!!!!!!!!!!! These items were stolen!!!! Isn't it funny that they "popped" up after Ford Shelly and his red-neck, newly rich family members went in, stole her items and all of a sudden...they pop up in auction houses and the internet. Howard has every right to protect her items and I, with many, have been screaming at this web site and many others that they should be sued for airing her private property. Her videos and her diaries. You stupid, media hungry, Howard hating PRIC*S...I hope someone robs you tonight and puts your personal crap on Ebay. I would laugh my ass off as you cry "But it's mine!!!"

45. These diaries belong to the estate of Anna Nicole. I smell Ford Shelley all over this!! He should be prosecuted and the diaries returned. Ford essentially stole from a 7 month old baby!!! He is a scum bag!! No, I am not a fan of HKS or a paid blogger. I just believe in people doing the right thing, especially where a child is concerned.
