Charlie Sheen's Car Driven off Mulholland Drive -- Again

That bizarre story is happening again. Actor Charlie Sheen's car was apparently stolen and driven off the end of Mulholland Drive last night. If that scenarios sounds familiar, this is the second time it's happened. Back in February, Sheen's and a neighbor's car were both stolen from their Sherman Oaks gated community and found driven off the road.
Shortly before 3 a.m., someone told police a car had been driven off the road on the 13300 block of Mulholland, according to the LA Times. It was towed back to street level and the license plate was traced back to Sheen, who said he was not aware it was stolen and had last seen it at 4 p.m. in his driveway. The car will be dusted for prints.
