Stories about Lindsay Lohan have been flooding the tabloids for months.  One of the oddest appeared in Star magazine at the end of April.  According to unnamed sources, Lindsay attended a party at the home of Los Angeles model Lauren Hastings while Lauren was out of town.  When Lindsay left the party, she supposedly took $10 thousand of Miss Hastings's clothing with her.

Neither Lindsay Lohan nor her camp have given these claims any credence, and TMZ has reported that the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has declined to pursue felony charges.  None of this has dampened Lauren's desire to tell her story. 

Hastings recently visited Buzznet's offices.  If the resultant video makes nothing else clear, it shows that Lauren Hastings believes she has been deeply wronged by Lindsay Lohan.

Though this video can't be said to prove that Lindsay Lohan removed items totaling ten grand from Lauren's apartment, it does offer a compelling statement from a young lady who feels betrayed and hurt by someone she thought was her friend.

Investigative and supplemental-property-loss reports filed with the Los Angeles Police Department indicate that Lauren was indeed robbed.  Articles in Star magazine establish that sources behind the scenes have fingered Lohan as the culprit, and that Lohan's friend Nicole Richie bears a grudge toward Lauren Hastings due to romantic jealousy.

The Star is careful to stop short of accusing Lindsay Lohan of theft, and the copies of police reports on hand do not mention the actress.

But Lauren Hastings insists that the thief was Lohan.  To build her case, Lauren supplies a collection of photos that she says show the freckled star flaunting clothing that was removed from the model's closet.

The world will probably never see if these photos of Lindsay and Lauren wearing Ksubi jeans can stand up to the evidentiary standards of Court TV.




Text etiquette is obviously not a strong point of the authors of the above messages to Lauren -- reputedly from Nicole Richie and Samantha Ronson, reacting to accusations that Lindsay had stolen Lauren's clothing.

Messages texted to Lauren prior to "the incident," from one Lindsay L, are composed with an entirely more  convivial tone.
 


But any relationship between Lauren and Lindsay has obviously soured.  The "housesitter" who was taking care of Lauren's apartment the night the clothing vanished has her own particular insight, posted on Live Journal.




For all the information, materials and statements that have been provided by Lauren Hastings, by her "housesitter" and by "unnamed sources," the L.A. District Attorney has declined to pursue any further investigation. 

But what if you were the judge.  Take our poll, and let the world be the jury.  Have you seen enough to issue a warrant on Lindsay?
