She's been told over and over and over by our legal system that the laws don't apply to her. Why shouldn't she steal stuff? We know the associate was in possession of stolen property. Charge the associate with that, see what happens. Lindsay will let her friend take the fall.

That necklace looks like the plug you pop before you give birth. Who wouldn't want one? I can see why she was tempted to steal that.

Reality check Lindsay, IF YOU LEAVE THE STORE WITH STORE PROPERTY, AND IT IS NOT PAID FOR, IT IS CONSIDERED STOLEN MERCHANDISE THE MOMENT YOU LEAVE!!!

Simply put; a perpetual train wreck!

Liar, Liar Lindsay. Get ready to put that luxourious jump suit back on. Might want to have those hair extensions removed soon too, otherwise those prison guards might rip them out again. Just trying to help. ;)

#1 is right - Lindsay will never be held accountable for this. She is such a waste of a human being that it is sickening. This entire family is nothing but garbage!

Broke, busted , and out of excuses. Strike three, she's outta here!

I knew rehab wasn't going to change her. It was obvious when she moved next door to her Ex, and this necklace is the nail in the coffin of her "change".

AHAAHHHHAAA BUSTED BITCH !
This jewelry store owner isn't going to let you off the hook this time...better get your **** together 'cuz you're going to JAIL!

How the heck did she steal it? If it's worth $2500, shouldn't it be behind glass and handed to people who want to view it and returned if they don't buy it? This store has crap security, but she had no right to steal it. I hope the store owner press charges because this is a slam dunk that will violate her probation.

Wow.
She really IS that stupid as to wear a stolen piece of property that was taken only recently from a jewelry store!
I think she missed her calling-she should have signed up for the gang of celeb thieves who targeted Paris Hilton's house. Like her, they were stupid enough to show off their ill-gotten goods right after they "borrowed" them.

She could not be sober, steal a necklace, and wear it in public. If she was sober, then something else is very wrong.
