Wanna Buy Lindsay Lohan's Crap? A $16K Unpaid Bill Means Her Storage Unit Might Go Up For Auction

Talk about a very special episode of "Storage Wars"! Since actress Lindsay Lohan has a thing for not paying her tab, like with fancy L.A. hotels or the IRS, her storage unit crammed with valuable goods could end up on the auction block.
TMZ reports the starlet owes about $16,000 to her storage company for a locker full of "expensive designer clothes, family heirlooms and potentially embarrassing items" and her account--much like its charming account-holder--is delinquent.
Access to the locker is frozen to Lohan until she can pony up the cash to pay off the bill. That's a wee bit of a problem since...oopsies!...the IRS froze her bank accounts when they decided they were good and ready to get the $233,000 they are owed.
Apparently Lohan is trying to get friends and family to help her pay the storage company, but if she can't take care of it, the locker goes on the auction block at the end of the month.
Lucky for Lohan she can be present for the auction, since she isn't in jail yet; her probation was formally revoked Wednesday, but she's not back in court until mid-January.
