Police Recover Lindsay Lohan’s Handbag

LONDON (September 8, 2006) — Lindsay Lohan may be in luck.

British police said Friday they had recovered a handbag that went missing from the star’s luggage cart at Heathrow Airport. But nothing’s being said about the one (m) million dollars worth of jewelry that was supposedly inside when she lost it.

“A member of the public contacted us to say they had found it and brought it in,” a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said, on customary condition of anonymity. “We have not yet established what, if anything, is missing.”

The police will say only that they believe it “contained a quantity of jewelry” when lost. According to Lohan’s spokeswoman, the bag had jewelry and asthma medicine.

London’s Evening Standard newspaper on Friday ran a picture of a tearful Lohan, 20, which it said was taken just after she realized the bag was missing.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed Thursday that a 20-year-old woman had reported the theft of a bag from the airport, but in keeping with force policy did not name her.

“We understand the bag contained a quantity of jewelry,” police said in a statement.

The Web site TMZ.com reports the jewels are worth one (m) million dollars. And the site has pictures of Lohan in tears. It says the photos were taken after the loss.

Lohan traveled to London from Italy, where she was promoting her latest film, “Bobby,” at the Venice Film Festival.
