RYAN REYNOLDS - REYNOLDS CAR JACKED ON FIRST NIGHT IN LOS ANGELES

Canadian actor RYAN REYNOLDS had a terrible start to life in Los Angeles - his Jeep was stolen on his first day in the city.

The VAN WILDER star, whose new horror move THE AMITYVILLE HORROR crashed in at number one in the US box office chart on Sunday (17APR05), drove the Jeep all the way from his native Vancouver to Hollywood when he was a teenager.

But, after parking his vehicle for the night outside his apartment, Reynolds woke up to find the Jeep missing the next morning.

He says, "It got jacked. I found it a block away without any doors. I mean who steals doors?

"I spent the next few weeks driving around Hollywood in the worst storm going to auditions."
