Is Linday Lohan a Thief?

The fur fuss swirling around Lindsay Lohan has gone legal - the actress has been slapped with a lawsuit for taking a coat without permission.

Masha Markova claims the Mean Girls star took her $12,000 mink coat as she left a New York club at the end of a night out in January.

The New York student has filed papers in Manhattan's state Supreme Court.

She went public with the missing coat saga when she spotted Lohan wearing her mink in a magazine photo.

She told the New York Post, "It was my coat. It was no doubt."

The coat was reportedly returned to Markova in February.
