Lindsay Lohan's Klepto Past To Form Case

http://www.radaronline.com/sites/radaronline.com/files/imagecache/350width/wenn5600252_3.jpgLindsay Lohan has a history of stealing -- that's what the Los Angeles District Attorney will tell a judge who will decide whether to send the Mean Girls star to jail or not, Radar Online has exclusively learned.

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer must notify Judge Keith Schwartz by Wednesday, March 23 if she plans on taking a plea deal, and Radar Online is exclusively reporting that if the actress doesn't take the plea deal, Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers will include as part of her case, past incidents in which Lindsay has been accused of theft.

"There is very damaging information about Lindsay's past evidence of thefts, including a stolen Rolex, which a friend of hers reported as stolen last April 2010, which will be made public if Lindsay doesn't take the plea deal. Lindsay was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department last spring after a friend reported that after leaving the Rolex at Lohan's apartment, it wasn't returned immediately. Actually, it was quite a bit of time later that the watch was returned to the person. The watch was valued at a whopping, 35k, and like the current theft case, Lindsay was photographed wearing the watch. Lindsay wasn't charged in that case because the victim became uncooperative as soon as the watch was returned. The D.A. will be sending investigators out from the office to talk to the victim. Meyers wants to know if there was a financial pay off" a source close to the situation tells us.

Lohan, 24, was also accused of stealing a mink coat from Maria Markova in New York City in January 2008. Markova said at the time that Lohan took the coat at a nightclub, 1 Oak. The coat was valued at $12k. Markova claimed she was sitting next to Lohan at the club when the coat was allegedly stolen. Markova said the next time she saw the coat, Lohan was wearing it in a magazine picture. Lindsay was not criminally charged in that incident either. "Meyers will be reviewing that information as well. It will absolutely be brought up either at the preliminary hearing or the trial. This will establish a pattern of behavior on, that Meyers will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Lindsay is guilty in this case."

"It doesn't matter that Lindsay wasn't criminally charged in those previous incidents. Meyers can, and will subpoena police that investigated those, and as well as the accusers if she needs to. Lindsay has major entitlement issues, which have led her down this very dark road. If Lindsay is smart, she will take the plea deal. Lindsay won't know what will hit her if the case proceeds to a preliminary hearing, and trial. Meyers is tough as nails, make no mistake about it. Lindsay truly has no idea how bad this could get, and how fast. This could truly ruin her career. Look at the (Winona) Ryder case, her career suffered after the guilty conviction, and she didn't have the criminal record that Lindsay has," the source says.
