Actress and ubiquitous tabloid fodder, Lindsay Lohan is currently under investigation after $400,000 worth of jewelry disappeared after a London Elle magazine photo shoot. Scotland Yard is currently looking into who may have taken a set of diamond earrings and a necklace from the June 6 shoot. They were reported missing on June 8, which was then reported in the news last week.

While Ms. Lohan was the center of the photoshoot and the last one seen wearing the jewelry, police are quick to point out that several people have been questioned. A spokesperson for Elle U.K. has further stated that the magazine supports Ms. Lohan and that they have no reason to believe she was involved in the theft.

Is it because of Lindsay Lohan’s past very public run-ins with the law that the tabloids, and many people, were so quick to assume she may have had something to do with the theft of the jewelry, or is it simply because she’s famous? Would this even be an issue if it was another actress who hasn’t been in trouble over the last few years?

These questions certainly apply to the ordinary person accused of theft in Florida. If you have made mistakes in the past, you may still find yourself targeted by police for things which you have not done and have no knowledge of. It is another example of how much a person’s reputation can suffer when they are accused of a crime. It can take many years for your life to get back to normal after you have been charged with a crime.
