PARIS HILTON - HILTON'S MOTHER'S DAY MARRED BY THIEVES

Hotel heiress PARIS HILTON is fuming after thieves made off with a $10,000 (GBP5,500) bag of Mother's Day presents on Sunday (14MAY06). The brazen robbers snatched the gifts, which included CHRISTIAN DIOR shoes, sunglasses, handbags and perfume, from outside the Hiltons' palatial residence in Los Angeles. The bag had been left unwatched at the gate as the delivery person rang the intercom to gain access to the house. Hilton's spokesman ELLIOT MINTZ says, "A fellow just whizzed by (in a car) and grabbed the package. "(Paris) spent three or four hours shopping to put together this wonderful collection of things for her mom." Instead of being showered with presents, KATHY HILTON was treated to dinner at an exclusive nearby restaurant instead.
