NEW YORK (May 20) - A New York City college student sued actress Lindsay Lohan, claiming the "Mean Girls" star took her mink coat without permission and kept it for more than two weeks.

Maria Markova says in a lawsuit filed Monday that the 21-year-old Lohan took the $12,000 golden sheared mink coat while in the nightclub 1 Oak on Jan. 26.

The 22-year-old Markova's lawyer, Merrill Cohen, says Lohan had been sitting next to her client. Cohen say Markova next saw her coat on Lohan in a photo in OK! Magazine.

Cohen says she called Lohan's people and demanded the coat. She says Markova got the coat back on Feb. 14.

Cohen says the lawsuit, filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, asks unspecified damages.

Lohan's lawyer, Blair Berk, said it would be inappropriate to comment on the case.

Guess Lilo likes the feel of dead animal against her skin? Whatta moron...she stole something...if that was average Lindsey Public she'd be arrested for stealing. Make her do public service by going to clean roadkill off the highways.

Like I am surprised! What a low rent LOOOOOOOOOOSER! AOL, stop reporting this crap!

I think it was really foolish and unwise for Lindsay to steal someones coat. She can afford 10 of them. It was the right thing to do by returning the coat. I fail to understand why the girl whom lindsay wronged would sue. What grounds does she have to sue? Was the coat damaged? I think she is looking for pay day at Lindsay's expense. She can't get a million dollars for the theft so she she should leave well enough alone. She got her coat back and Lindsay was disgraced and labeled a thief.

What a tool!
Like she couldn't afford her own crappy fur coat!
I think she should be sued and be held accountable like anyone else would.
Plus, wearing a fur coat is GROSS!!

oh brother. People will sue for anything. How about an appology and an autograph. Get a life.

I hate a thief. Fame can take the girl out of the ghetto but it doesn't take the ghetto out of the girl.

if lohan is not held accountable for this theft,which due to the value of the stolen coat might be considered a felony in NYC, she will contnue to steal. Look at Ms. Ryder who probably got away wth many robberies before being held accountable. I would be surprized to learn if she were actively shoplifting these days. Its an addiction and these young promising talented women need to have society acting as the parents they didn' t have. I'm glad she is being sued, even if the crime doesn't fit the charges against her, for her own good.

Lin is first class trailer trash and thinks she's above the law. She need to have another drink.

bpdarling 04:48:12 PM May 20 2008

You can take the trash out of the trailer, but you can't take the trailer out of the TRASH! Ms. Lohan, please live a happy life, IN PRIVATE, and take your grubby family with you. You have enough $$, so just get a good business manager, and live a happy and private life. Thanks, peace.
