NEW YORK - A New York City college student has sued Lindsay Lohan, claiming the "Mean Girls" star took her mink coat without permission and kept it for more than two weeks.
Maria Markova said in a lawsuit filed Monday that Lohan, 21, took the $12,000 golden sheared mink coat while in the nightclub 1 Oak on Jan. 26.
The 22-year-old Markova's lawyer, Merrill Cohen, said Lohan had been sitting next to her client. Cohen said Markova next saw her coat on Lohan in a photo in OK! magazine.
Cohen said she called Lohan's representatives and demanded the return of the coat. She said Markova got the coat back Feb. 14.
Lohan's lawyer, Blair Berk, said it would be inappropriate to comment on the case.
Cohen said the lawsuit, filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, asks unspecified damages.
