Winona Ryder — who was convicted of shoplifting more than $5000 worth of clothing and accessories from Beverly Hills' Saks Fifth Avenue in 2002 — is in the middle of yet another accessories crisis.

Winona rocked a Bulgari diamond bracelet and ring worth more than $125,000 at the Marie Claire awards in Madrid last week. The problem is, the jewels were on loan — and Winona's set was not returned, according to Voici, a French celebrity gossip magazine.

Winona said she put the jewelry in an envelope and handed it to the front desk at the hotel before she flew back to Los Angeles, but the hotel surveillance cameras do not show any sign of her doing that.

I don't understand the placement of that tattoo on her left arm. Why would you want to focus anyone's attention there? And I figured I'd add the photo for the guilty/not guilty crowd.

Plus I think it shows the jewelry in question.

In the end, they loaned her the jewelry for publicity and they have it now.

When handing over anything worth over 100K, I usually ask for some kind of receipt.

This reminded me of a wonderful short story, “The Necklace”
by Guy de Maupassant.

For the not guilty crowd - if she promises to give everything back, would she?

Always insist on a signed receipt showing the return items on loan. If there is no evidentiary trail, you still have them. It's not like you're returning a rental DVD.

ALWAYS ask for a receipt... that is of course she actually handed the envelope containing the booty to the front desk clerk.

Not Guilty.

But she needs to wake up.
