Linday Lohan's knife photos were stolen from her camera

Recently pictures showed up on the Internet of Lindsay Lohan and Vanessa Minnillo posing seductively with knives. The photos were said to have been taken last year at Sean Lennon's NYC apartment. But just how did they get leaked to the public?

The photos have circulated all over the Internet, but they have also shown up in major publications like Britain's News of the World and Us Weekly. The agency selling the images is X17. According to an insider for Celebrity Babylon, the photographs were stolen by a sneaky photographer.

Says the source, "Those photos were stolen by a paparazzi when Lindsay went to The Ivy for lunch. [The photog] waited until the valet parked [Lindsay's] car and then reached inside, took her camera that was just laying on the seat, downloaded the photos on to his laptop hard drive, and put the camera back. By the time the valet brought Lindsay's car around, everything was just the way it was when she got out, and she had no clue what had happened."

Lindsay's rep, Leslie Sloane Zelnick commented on the theft, stating, "Unfortunately, we live in a society where we allow stolen pictures to make a profit. I can't believe magazines would purchase and publish stolen, personal photos."
