BROOKE SHIELDS - SHIELDS BLASTS 'WALLET THIEF'

SHIELDS BLASTS 'WALLET THIEF'

BROOKE SHIELDS has mocked the stage manager who was arrested after allegedly stealing $30,000 (£22,010) worth of designer goods from the set of LIPSTICK JUNGLE - branding him "not very bright". Arthur Moreira, 27, was charged with theft last week (23Jan09) after officers purchased missing set items online in a sting operation, according to New York's Brooklyn district attorney's office.
A range of expensive items from the U.S. show's cast wardrobe - including an Oscar de la Renta snakeskin bag, Gucci coats and designs by French fashion house Sylvia Toledano - had earlier gone missing.
Toledano employees first alerted police after finding limited items by the designer for sale on eBay.com - and it has now emerged that Shields' wallet was also stolen from her dressing room.
But the actress sees the funny side, because the thief stole her cheap wallet and left behind her expensive purse.
She tells New York gossip column PageSix, "The same guy... stole my wallet out of my dressing room last season, right out of my purse!
"He's not very bright, because the purse was worth more than the wallet."
