Charlie Sheen -- Hey, OnStar Really Works

Posted Feb 5th 2010 10:06AM by TMZ Staff

Charlie Sheen got one hell of a wake up call this morning -- when an operator from an OnStar-like service called to inform him that his SUV had crashed.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sheen got the call around 4AM when his remote diagnostics company received an alert that the car had been involved in a wreck and the airbags had deployed.

We're told Sheen alerted his security team -- who inspected the home and confirmed that the car had been stolen.

Cops later found the wrecked SUV 100 feet down Mulholland Drive.

We're told the L.A. Fire Department used an infrared scanner to search for any victims, but the search came up empty.

Cops are still hunting for a suspect.

Jon Cryer's wife got confused for a minute.

Somehow this is just perfect; not sure why, but it is (as long as nobody got hurt). Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, so to speak.

**Bellatheball** · February 5th, 2010, 01:26 PM

Posted Feb 5th 2010 2:12PM by TMZ Staff
Charlie Sheen's car that went over a cliff this morning on Mulholland Drive was ready to drive ... because law enforcement tells us the key was in the ignition and the garage door at his home was open.

Charlie lives in a gated community where other residents sometimes leave their garage door open as well.

Our law enforcement sources say when they arrived at Charlie's home he looked fine and told cops he had no idea who heisted his ride.

Cops say other cars in the gated community were burglarized.

Some of the photos...

Car Thieves Caught on Tape in Sheen Case

Posted Feb 5th 2010 5:32PM by TMZ Staff
The eye in the sky may be the key to the mysterious Bentley at the bottom of a ravine near where Charlie Sheen's car was found -- the Bentley owners claim they have surveillance tapeof the car being stolen.

TMZ just contacted the owners of the Bentley -- one of whom, we're told, is slated to be on the upcoming "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Lisa Vanderpump -- who appeared on "Silk Stalkings" and "Baywatch Nights" -- is married to Kenneth Todd. They live near Charlie Sheen's house in a gated community. The keys were not in the car, Lisa says. The car was parked in the driveway. Lisa tells us they have surveillance footage of the crime.

Lisa and Ken own the fancy Beverly Hills restaurant, Villa Blanca.

UPDATE: Law enforcement sources tell TMZ police are investigating to see if the Charlie Sheen and Todd incidents are connected. They have looked at the surveillance video from Charlie's house and there is a shot of the thieves leaving the scene, though it is hard to ID them.

We do not know how much the Todd surveillance video reveals.

UPDATE: We just spoke with Lisa again, who said, "They can have the frickin' car, but can I have my dry cleaning in the trunk, please?" Rich people's problems ....

Charlie Sheen Left Keys in the Car -- Again

Originally posted Jun 15th 2010 6:06 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Law enforcement sources say the theft of Charlie Sheen's car -- the second such heist in 4 months -- was made easy because Charlie didn't learn his lesson.

We're told Charlie left his keys in the car, which was parked in his driveway in a gated community. He did the exact same thing 4 months ago when his car was stolen and ditched on Mulholland Drive -- about a mile from where his car was ditched today.

Cops have already been to Sheen's home today. Charlie told them the last time he noticed his vehicle sitting in the driveway was at around 4 PM. He said he had no idea the car was stolen until cops showed up.

Law enforcement sources say cops actually joked when they got the call early this morning that it was Charlie's car, never really believing lightning would strike twice. One law enforcement source calls the most recent incident "suspicious."

We're told detectives are going back to Charlie's neighborhood later today, to see if surveillance tape at the guard shack shows the car leaving the property. The guard shack exit is the only way out, but for some reason there was no video of the first heist.

The culprits in the first theft were never caught.

Charlie Sheen Car Theft -- Home Surveillance

For a second time, it looks like the car thieves who jacked Charlie Sheen's ride may have gotten away with it because of problems with surveillance video.

Law enforcement tells us Charlie had a surveillance camera at his house, but the video only shows one person who appears to be "messing with the car." Problem is ... the video is "very shadowy" and it might be impossible to identify the thief.

As for surveillance video at the guard gate -- we're told it shows "nothing that was useful."

Rewind to 4 months ago, when car thieves hit Charlie for the first time. Again, cops struck out in the video department and the crime went unsolved.

That Denise Richards. She's such the prankster

**Grimmlok** · June 16th, 2010, 10:27 AM

What's the point of a gated community if your shit can still get jacked

**JadeStar70** · June 16th, 2010, 10:35 AM

so he has had 2 cars stolen? You would have thought they would have increased security, or replaced the shitty video camera, after the first theft. D'uh....
