Shia LaBeouf Swipes Paparazzo's Camera

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 10th 2010 07:34AM

Shia LaBeouf was caught red handed when he tried to remove camera equipment from a X17 paparazzo's car in Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon, according to X17 Online. The 'Transformers' star reportedly saw the paparazzi swarming outside of his house and decided the only way to keep them from snapping photos was to take the cameras out of the equation. He helped himself to the equipment and reportedly returned to his residence to call the police. Police eventually had LaBeouf give up the camera and didn't arrest him.

"We handle each incident on a case-by-case basis," an unnamed official told X17 Online.

Of course, LaBeouf has had a few run-ins with the paparazzi in the past and has stated how much he hates his privacy being invaded. In April, Pacific Coast News reported that LaBeouf got into an altercation with a photographer while he was filling up his truck at a gas station.

After realizing he was being photographed, he charged a photographer and allegedly said, "If you follow me all day, I am going to f**k you up."

As bad as it sounds, enjoy it will you can, because when people stop trying to follow you, take pics, write what you had for lunch while your eating (photo attatched :), when all that stops & they move on to someone else, you will be wishing someone would take your phone.

@ Carla, I agree, people want to see "famous" people, celuloid heroes,reguardless of WHAT they are famous for, doing normal things that everyone does every day. Maybe some day, they will realise they are just regular people, Im talking about the not famous, every day Joe's or Joane's (the famous, well known, rich..will never consider themselves regular. Sad but true.

damn that boy is getting hotter and hotter - and, in my opinion, no actor signs a contract that in order to star in a popular film they have to put up with the paparazzi
