Lindsay Lohan: Fur Thief

Marsha Markova said she was shocked to see Lindsay wearing her coat in a February issue of OK! Magazine. The coat went missing from the 10ak nightclub in the Meatpacking District after a private party for Stavros Niarchos.

“I was actually talking on the phone to my grandmother about something else, and then I flipped through the magazine, saw the picture said, ‘I need to call you back,’ ” Markova told The Post yesterday.

“It was my coat. It was no doubt!”

The pretty co-ed said that in the ensuing days, she surfed the Internet and found several paparazzi photos of Lohan wearing the distinctive blond coat hours after the birthday party they had both attended.

Also, celebrity blogs posted pictures of the actress party-hopping that night, wearing a black coat before she arrived at 1Oak, Markova said.

Club owners vowed to get to the bottom of it, but several days passed with no call back, Markova said. That’s when her immigration lawyer, Merrill Cohen, called Lohan’s high-powered Hollywood attorney, Blair Berke, threatening litigation.

Hours later, Markova said she heard from 1Oak.

“They were very discreet, never mentioned a name or even the word ‘coat,’ ” Markova said. “They just said, ‘We’re going to bring you something.’ ”

The coat arrived at Markova’s Morningside Heights apartment two days later.

Reeking of cigarettes and booze with a slight tear in the lining, the fur coat was no worse for wear after a dry cleaning and quick patch-up.

Still, she wants answers, and Lohan to own up to swiping her coat.

“I don’t see how it could have been an accident,” Markova said.

A 1Oak rep confirmed that the club delivered Markova’s fur coat back to her in February.

“I am not the coat keeper. I’m not sure where the coat was,” said club spokeswoman Lisette Sand-Freedman.

Marsha said she would like Lindsay to ‘fess up to taking the coat, and pay $10,000 for damages. Lindsay’s rep has yet to comment, and really, I don’t expect her to do so any time soon.
