Heathrow thief grabs Lohan's million-dollar jewels

LOS ANGELES - Film star Lindsay Lohan had a handbag stolen at London's Heathrow airport today, her spokeswoman said.

Celebrity website TMZ.com is reporting the bag contained valuable jewellery that could be worth more than US$1 ($1.56) million.

TMZ.com said the Mean Girls star reported the theft of an orange Hermes handbag to officials at Scotland Yard.

Lohan's publicist Leslie Sloane told TMZ.com the 20 year old was extremely upset about losing her personal belongings in the bag, which included her vital asthma medication.

"She is begging for the return of the items," Ms Sloane said.

"She doesn't care how she gets them back, she just wants her stuff back."

Earlier this week the actress sparked an engagement riddle by wearing an enormous solitaire diamond on her ring finger at the premiere of her new film, Bobby.

Her boyfriend Harry Morton was spotted shopping in Cartier last week and the couple enjoyed a romantic break in Hawaii before jetting into Venice.
