After returning a Hermes handbag filled with $1 million in jewelry, you would think a guy would get a thank you, but apparently not. Chauffer Tom Webster found Lindsay Lohans missing bag at Londons Heathrow Airport, and promptly returned it to the distraught actresss flack. Lohans rep assured Webster he would receive a reward, or at the very least, a personal thank you note from Lohan. Well, Webster is still waiting.
Webster, who works for Reyka vodka, told Page Six: "They haven't gotten back to me. Not a word. She seems like a nice girl and she was pleased to get the bag back - it was full of diamonds and bracelets and necklaces. But it's really disappointing. I'd like to hear from her with maybe just a 'thanks very much.' Her people took my address and phone number and said they'd be in touch. I know these stars need a good looking-after, but she could have easily just spoke to me on the phone."
Lohans rep snapped back at Websters claims, saying the driver was clearly using this incident for publicity.
Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, fumed, "I will look into that matter, but I wonder why they'd call a newspaper and not just call me. I think they obviously want free publicity using Lindsay's name."
What kind of free publicity could the chauffer possibly want for himself? Publicity for his big, black car?
Kind of an asshole move. Sure, she sucks for not thanking him, but going to the press about it is just as sucky. Moral of the story is to learn this phrase: "purse? what purse? I didn't find no purse. Which way to the Cadillac dealer?" If you can't keep track of a purse full of a million dollars worth of jewlery you deserve to lose the damned thing.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Lohan; I couldn't find your purse at the airport. I searched for hours and talked to all the employees. Huh? Yes, this is a new Giorgio Armani suit and Rolex wrist watch; thanks for noticing. Excuse me; I'm late for work."

See, kids? The moral of this story is hyped celebrities don't give a fuck about you, so if you find their personal property in the backseat of a cab, you should sell it on eBay and sell any compromising pictures to the tabloids.

It's possible that the paper contacted him and asked. In which case, it's perfectly reasonable to say that she didn't thank him, and he was maybe a tad disapointed. Lohan's publicist says he called the paper, but why should her word be the final say?
