It is thought that the Mean Girls actress accidentally left her mobile behind at the Mott Corner Deli and when she returned to reclaim the phone, the cashier refused to return it until he was sure it was Lohan's.

According to TMZ, the deli worker insisted on checking a security tape to ensure it was her property. His actions left Lohan agitated and after threatening to call the police, she asked a friend to phone the authorities.

However, it is believed that by the time local officials arrived at the store, the situation was already "diffused".

The salesman allegedly had no idea who Lohan was.
