According to the New York Post, Lindsay Lohan allegedly stole a blonde mink coat worth $11,000 while attending a birthday party in New York City on January 26. Columbia student Masha Markova, 22, told the paper that she was seated next to Lohan at the party, and put the mink — a gift from her grandmother — in a common bin with other jackets. It was gone when she was getting ready to leave. Two weeks later, she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Lohan wearing the coat in a photo taken January 26 in the Feb. 11 edition of OK! Magazine. “It was my coat. It was no doubt,” Masha told the Post. She got the coat back (reeking of cigarettes and alcohol, with a slight rip in the lining) after her lawyer contacted Lindsay’s attorney Blaire Berk. Markova is seeking damages and an explanation from Lohan, saying, “I don’t see how it could have been an accident.” Meanwhile, fur coats may not be the only item Lohan is after: she was seen getting close to Nicole Richie’s man, Joel Madden, at the Hornitos Cinco de Mayo party in Hollywood this week.
