Lohan is being sought for questioning by Los Angeles police over a jewelry theft at the home of a friend, the Los Angeles Times reported on August 28, 2012, citing unnamed law enforcement sources. 
 
 LOS ANGELES | 
 
 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Los Angeles prosecutors on Tuesday declined to charge actress Lindsay Lohan or her assistant with theft from a Hollywood Hills home where they recently stayed, citing insufficient evidence. 
 
 Lohan, 26, was questioned by police after the home's owner named her in connection with the alleged theft of about $6,400 worth of property. But after investigators completed their probe, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Deborah L. Kranze declined to charge anyone, including Lohan and an assistant who was with her. 
 
 "We do not have sufficient evidence to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt," Kranze wrote in evaluating the case. 
 
 Kranze's evaluation added that Lohan and the alleged theft victim had a "longstanding relationship," and said potential eyewitnesses refused to become involved and no stolen property was found in the possession of Lohan or her assistant. 
 
 Celebrity website TMZ.com earlier reported that the troubled actress and her assistant were guests at the home during an all-night party and the owner later reported the theft of stolen jewelry, including watches, amounting to an estimated $100,000. 
 
 But District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons disputed the amount. "According to evidence presented to us to review, the property loss was $6,400. None of it was jewelry," she said. 
 
 Gibbons said the probe showed property losses of "$3,000 in cash, four pairs of sunglasses, an iPod and some keys to two cars and a house." 
 
 "Lindsay is glad this matter has been cleared up so she can focus on her upcoming projects. It is unfortunate that many media outlets were quick to point fingers and jump to conclusions without having all the facts," Lohan's spokesman said in a statement. 
 
 Lohan was released from formal probation in March over charges in 2007 of drunk driving and cocaine possession. Recently she has had guest roles on TV sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live," a cameo appearance on "Glee" and has filmed the TV movie "Liz & Dick." 
 
 The actress is still on informal probation until 2014 in connection with a jewelry theft case last year. If charges had been brought in the latest incident, officials could have revoked her probation and sent her to jail.

 Los Angeles Police Department detectives had presented evidence to prosecutors Tuesday after several days on investigation identifying Lohan as well as Gavin Lawrence Doyle and Andrew Nicholas Payan as suspects in the case. 
 
 Lohan and one of the victims in the case, identified as millionaire Sam Magid, had a "longstanding relationship," and he did not identify any of the suspects, prosecutors said. 
 
 Although one of the suspects made a "vague admission" that someone had taken something, none of the suspects was found with any property. 
 
 In addition, prosecutors noted in the filing that eyewitnesses in the case did not cooperate with authorities, and the victims did not wish to pursue a criminal prosecution of the case. 
 
 LAPD detectives have been seeking to talk with Lohan after several items, including cash, sunglasses and a credit card holder, were reported stolen from a home Aug. 18. Law enforcement sources said that reports of $100,000 taken from the home were inaccurate. 
 
 The incident is the latest in a series of brushes with the law for Lohan, who has been trying to put her much-chronicled legal troubles behind her and resume her acting career. ||||| A friend of Lindsay Lohan has turned in a piece of stolen jewelry to police detectives in Los Angeles, RadarOnline.com has learned. 
 
 RadarOnline.com broke the world exclusive story late Tuesday that police requested a search warrant after suspecting Lindsay had stolen the one-of-a-kind necklace worth $2,500 from a store in Venice Beach, where she now lives following her release from rehab.

 The unnamed friend surrendered the jewelry to authorities in the Pacific Division of the LAPD Tuesday night. 
 
 LAPD Pacfic Division Lt. Jeff Bert tells RadarOnline: “A person claiming to represent Lindsay Lohan turned the necklace into LAPD dectectives at 8:30pm Tuesday night. LAPD began investigating Lohan on January 23rd. The necklace was reportedly stolen from a Venice boutique. If the LA County DA’s office files charges it would be grand theft, which is a felony.” 
 
 Police tell RadarOnline.com the necklace is now in a police locker — classified as evidence. It will ultimately be up to the District Attorney’s office whether to pursue any charges in the case.

 As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, on February 1, police went to court seeking a search warrant for Lohan’s Venice Beach home because they suspected the Mean Girls star, 24, swiped a high end piece of jewelry from a store in Venice Beach on January 22. 
 
 The necklace was turned in before the search warrant was executed. 
 
 Investigators told the court they actually have video of the troubled actress wearing the missing bling.

 “Lindsay is being accused of stealing high end jewelry, including a necklace,” one law enforcement source with knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com. 
 
 “A search warrant was requested Tuesday at the Airport Court to search Lindsay’s house for the item of jewelry in question.

 “Lindsay has been photographed and there is video of her wearing the jewelry she is accused of stealing.” 
 
 Lohan is still on probation and is facing possible criminal charges after a violent incident with a former Betty Ford worker on December 12.

– Lindsay Lohan will not be prosecuted for a theft at a Hollywood Hills home, reports the Los Angeles Times. But it's not entirely clear if that's because Lohan had nothing to do with the theft, or merely because the homeowner and other witnesses stopped cooperating with police. Sources told TMZ that Lohan and her assistant Gavin Doyle were suspects in the apparent theft of some $100,000 worth of watches and pricey sunglasses from the home of multimillionaire Sam Magid. But prosecutors tell the Times all that was reported to them was a missing $3,000 in cash, four pairs of sunglasses, an iPod and car keys. Magid, who authorities say has a "longstanding relationship" with Lohan, is now refusing to identify any suspects, reports Reuters. "We do not have sufficient evidence to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt," Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Deborah L. Kranze wrote in evaluating the case. Magid apparently has a thing for Lohan and texted her after the news broke that "what's mine is yours," reports TMZ. A jewelry theft charge would have been particularly bad news for the troubled 26-year-old actress because she's already on probation in another jewelry theft case. Lohan's spokesman blasted "media outlets quick to point fingers and jump to conclusions without having all the facts."
