RadarOnline.com has learned the 38-year-old — made famous for smooching Prince Andrew in 2008 while in St. Tropez — was caught red-handed when security at Richards of Greenwich claimed they saw her take a scarf from their shop and alerted the police.

According to the police report, Boman was in a Starbuck’s coffee shop when police approached her and she “admitted that she stole [the scarf] and was going to return it.

Boman was charged with first-degree larceny and was released after posting $5,000 bail.

"Anybody who knows Beata knows she has no need and no reason to steal anything,'' her attorney Mark Sherman told the Greenwich Times.

She will call Shawn Chapman Holley. Get it dropped to a misdemeanor. There is NO WAY a scarf is worth $11,000. What's it knit from? Kate Middleton's pubes?

She was and is still thinking she can have whatever she wants, whenever she wants it. That's what Daddy tells her when he writes her weekly check.

Yeah. It was an 'misundersood.' The rich always say that. Or maybe she's just like many others and felt entitled. She wanted it - so she took it. Geez, her laywer would never say that though . . .
