Apparently some of the items were returned to the homeowner. He gave them to the cops as evidence.

Don’t you just hate it when your guests steal the silverware? 😛 Lindsay has no class at all. The silverware? geez

There’s always the fact that they’re investigating her lying about not being the one driving during her most recent car accident. She’s really going to be in serious trouble for that. She is going\* down\*!

Just kidding. Again, nothing will happen.

Poor Lindsay must be the most misunderstood person on the planet.

Surely this means that Lindsay’s second career as a stripper is also ruined and she’ll now have to spend the next 60 years in jail.

Just what in God’s green hell is wrong with this woman? Why won’t she just _behave_? Don’t drive drunk, don’t steal, don’t walk out on hotel tabs. It’s not that difficult!

Edit: I know, I know, constantly getting in trouble keeps her name in the press. But to what end? What is she hoping to achieve?

I think the real story here is that there are 2 entries on her bill for non guest parking on 6/17. Why is nobody trying to find out who was staying with her that night and what they were all doing? The people have the right to know!

The prices these celebrities pay is just unreal. No wonder they blow through their million dollar paychecks. $75 a day for a hotel computer? You could buy a laptop to use in your room in ten days at those prices. Who the heck wants to live in a hotel room for months anyway? Her hotel bill would almost buy a house in my neighborhood. 75 grand gets a nice home here.

So, Lindsay’s luck saved her again. No charges because the homeowner won’t cooperate. One of these days her luck will run out.

I think there are much bigger questions here. Namely,

Who is this “claimed” son of Suge Knight? Why is it “claimed”?

Who the hell is “Suge Knight”?

What the hell kind of name is “Suge”?

Come on, the people want to know!

“Suge” is a nickname - what a diner waitress calls you when she’s shortening the word “sugar.”

“Top that off for ya, Suge?”

Suge Knight is a rap/hip-hop tsar/gangster.

A friend who had had some trouble with the law once told me, “the best way to avoid jail is to never do a crime with anyone else”.

If you commit a crime together with someone else, there may be no trouble for a long time. But then that person may get arrested and they may have some good reason for not wanting to go to jail and they will almost certainly rat you out to avoid jail time if they can.

You may think you are very good friends with them. But even a brother or sister or husband or wife will rat you out after some time has passed.

He told me that when it comes to committing crimes, it was essential to do everything alone and to never talk with anyone about it. Otherwise, you are almost certain to go to jail.

It seems to me that most of the time when someone goes to jail, they could have avoided it by keeping their mouths shut.

Suppose Lindsay did arrange for these two guys to steal some watches. She brought her brother with her awa these two guys. If the cops track down these two guys, what are the odds they will go to jail rather than tell the cops about Lindsay’s part in this?

Even her brother might be willing to talk and I assume these two guys are not as close to her as that.

We all should know the game the cops play in a case like this. Whoever will talk to them and give evidence that will put one or more of the others in jail gets a pass. The rest go to jail.

And even if Lindsay had nothing to do with it, what do you think the odds are that these two guys will tell the cops some lie that she was the mastermind so they can avoid jail?

I would think she has a big problem on her hands with this.
