NEW YORK - A New York City college student sued actress Lindsay Lohan, claiming the "Mean Girls" star took her mink coat without permission and kept it for more than two weeks.
Maria Markova says in a lawsuit filed Monday that the 21-year-old Lohan 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, says Lohan had been sitting next to her client. Cohen say Markova next saw her coat on Lohan in a photo in OK! Magazine.
Cohen says she called Lohan's people and demanded the coat. She says Markova got the coat back on Feb. 14.
Cohen says the lawsuit, filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, asks unspecified damages.
Lohan's lawyer, Blair Berk, said it would be inappropriate to comment on the case.
