Michael Lohan: Lindsay Didn't Steal, She Got the Necklace on Consignment

By Rob Shuter Posted Feb 3rd 2011 12:20PM

Lindsay Lohan's latest scandal revolves around a $2,500 necklace that she was seen taking from a high-end jewelry story near her Venice Beach home, and although she could face charges of grand theft, her father calls it one big "ridiculous" misunderstanding.

"When Lindsay wants jewlery, she askes me and I buy it. And if I think it's too pricey, she buys it," he tells me. "She gets so much on consignment and that's exactly what happened here."

Michael isn't buying reports that the jeweler and the police worked together for weeks to craft a sting operation in order to catch the 'Mean Girls' star wearing a $2,500 necklace.

"If she took something, it would have been addressed at the end of that business day."

According to RadarOnline.com, a police report was filed the day of the incident, and that authorities purporsely waited until she was photographed wearing the necklace.

A friend of the actress turned the necklace in to the Pacific Division of the LAPD Tuesday night.

Kamofie & Co. reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22, roughly three weeks after the actress was released from three months of court-ordered rehab at the Betty Ford Center.

Michael lied before and he's lying now.

I have some swampland by a casino.

I think she got it on "five-finger-consignment".

By RJ

I wonder how her lawyer will get her out of this one. Anybody else would have been in the slammer by now.

By Mary

PLEASE....let her end up in front of that wonderful judge that takes NONE of her crap, and sent her to rehab for months. She's been an actress since childhood, and the judge didn't believe any of her performance.
It's called "shoplifting", and it's a crime.

Time for Mr. Lohan to STOP enabling his daughter's behavior by making lame excuses. If it was a consignment it was only in Ms. Lohans mind or the business would not have called the cops the same day.

Liar,liar... pants on fire!

Of course he would say that about Lilo, thats his money train. Judge, put her in jail once and for all, for months not days. She will never learn, and has been given too many chances already.

When he buys her jewelry he must pay in sexual favors. He sure doesn't have any money.

On consignment?

When YOU want to sell something you take it to a 'consignment' shop, and then they sell it and when they do they get a cut from the sale price.

How can someone take something out of a shop 'on consignment' ?? That is like 'on approval' .... for rich people?

Yes, consignment IS like ON APPROVAL for the rich and famous. Are you stupid enough to think that all the Babes at the various and sundry AWARD shows BOUGHT the jewelery they are wearing . What a clod !

By Joan

Yeah, right Dad then you woke up Nah your still sleeping!!! Lindesy has been accused of taking what is not her's before I think it was someone coat!!!!!WAKE UP DAD!!!!

By Dnewwmann

Imagine if every thief said that the item he found in his possession that a store had missed was on consignment. RIGHT!

By Polar Patrol

Why do the parents of this moron constantly make statements about her to the media? If she was still a kid I'd understand, but she's 20-something years old now for God's sake! I don't hear the parents of other celebs constantly speaking out about their children. Give it a rest, Lohans!

By Ron

What your meal ticket is going to jail.

By mlr

Consignment would involve the consent of the store owner.
Nothing more to be said, besides that is the most IDIOTIC
lame excuse EVER!

Consignment would mean it would not be reported stolen. That's proof enough for me that the idiot Linzey is a thief.

By tel4plm

If Lindsay had it on consignment, I'd have to believe that the store knew where it was. Even if they wanted to charge her for keeping it for extra time (which, IMHO would be well within their rights,) they'd still know where it was.

Since it was reported as stolen, I'm guessing store didn't know where it was.

Make sense?
