If you got it, flaunt it -- something Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch suspect Rachel Lee may be guilty of doing with a necklace that was allegedly stolen from Rachel Bilson.
According to a Las Vegas search warrant affidavit, Nick Prugo gave cops a photo from a video conference he had with Lee. In it, Prugo said Lee was wearing a "yellow metal pendant with an inscription of the letter 'R' ... and advised that this necklace was stolen from Rachel Bilson's residence."
As TMZ first reported, authorities claim Nick Prugo provided a full confession about the crimes and pointed out Lee as the "driving force" of the burglar crew.

The sister of one of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch suspects may be wearing Rachel Bilson -- no, not the designer ... the actress who had her vest stolen.
Playboy model Tess Taylor -- sister of Burglar Bunch defendant Alexis Neiers -- is seen here wearing what Rachel herself believes is her vest ... that's what her rep tells TMZ.
Bilson, along with Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom and Brian Austin Green, are among the victims of a string of burglaries -- cops say the culprits are members of the Bunch.

The Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch possessed more gold, diamonds and drugs than King Midas ... this according to cops who raided the homes of the defendants. We just got hold of the return on the search warrant, and it's impressive.
Here's just a partial list of what cops found -- pearl-style necklace, several rings with yellow metal and white stones, a ring with white metal and green stones, a ring with yellow metal and red stones, a ring with yellow metal and green and white stones, a Marc Jacobs purse, a Louis Vuitton purse, 2 Chanel purses, 1 Hermes purse, a Steve Madden shopping bag, a Blackberry Edge cell phone and an LG cell phone, 4 pairs of BCBG and Marc Fisher heels, a pair of True Religion pants (which are connected to Rachel Bilson), 2 bottles of Paris Hilton perfume, 2 bottles of Chanel perfume, an Apple laptop, Gucci eyeglasses, Chanel eyeshadow, a Chanel makeup brush, Dior mascara, a Mexican passport, and a Washington State driver's license.
As TMZ first reported earlier today, cops also found a huge stash of drugs -- including cocaine, mushrooms and ecstasy.
The search warrant return also turned up a 3-page list found at Ajar's home -- with a description of "diamonds in bag." It lists 10 separate bags, totaling 42.94 carats. The list also references dozens of pieces of expensive jewelry including a Cartier watch, a Mont Blanc watch, dozens of diamond, gold and silver rings, a diamond bracelet, and several necklaces.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the search warrant in the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch caper -- and there's no doubt ... a lot was stolen.
The warrant identifies certain property presumed to have been stolen by members of the Bunch from various celeb homes. The items include, "hats, purses, pink duffel bag, gray duffel bag, gold watch, silver watch, silver necklace, sunglasses, luggage, coats, personal computers, laptop computers, cigarettes, gloves and scarves."
Cops were also on the hunt for any means of communication, "boasting about the burglaries." They were also afraid the bunch would learn the cops were on to them and destroy the evidence. Therefore, the police asked the judge to approve simultaneous searches of the suspects residences.
The warrant also gave cops permission to search for "narcotics, dangerous drugs, marijuana, and paraphernalia related to the use and/or sale of such substances such as hypodermic syringes, hypodermic needles ... spoons, balloons, condoms, measuring devices, badges, pipes, cutting agents ... as well as large sums of cash."
Law enforcement says members of the Bunch hit the homes of Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom, and Brian Austin Green -- among others.
The L.A. County District Attorney has charged Nick Prugo, Diana Tamayo, Courtney Ames, Roy Lopez Jr. and Alexis Neiers in various residential burglaries.
Story developing ... We are about to publish what the cops found, so keep refreshing the page!

They don't call him Johnny Dangerous for nothing -- the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch suspect (who's still on the run, no less) spent time in prison a few years ago for trying to slang massive amounts of coke.
Jonathan Ajar pled guilty in federal court in Wyoming in 2002 to possession with intent to distribute more than "500 grams of mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine," this according to court documents we obtained.
But get this ... as part of his plea, the second charge against Ajar was dropped -- which was the intent to sell roughly 35 POUNDS of marijuana.
Ajar was sentenced to 37 months in prison, four years supervised release and was forced to pay a measly $250 fine.
Ajar was behind bars from Feb. 20, 2003 until November 8, 2004 -- and lived in a halfway house after he was released.
As we first reported, Ajar was convicted of DUI earlier this year, busted for drug possession back in September ... and cops held up a wanted poster of him during a press conference about the Burglar Bunch case last week.

Cops are still on the hunt for the final member of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch -- a guy who has a serious in with major Hollywood celebrities.
TMZ has learned Johnny Dangerous -- aka Jonathan Ajar -- is a promoter at a major Hollywood nightclub frequented by most of the stars on the Burglar Bunch hit list.
We've learned four of the six Burglar Bunch suspects have been photographed inside Ajar's nightclub before-- and Ajar himself has been photographed hanging out with several celebrities like Will I. Am and Suge Knight.
Ajar is currently a wanted man in connection to the burglaries of Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge and more -- but cops say Ajar is nowhere to be found.

TMZ has learned several suspected members of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch have a serious history of breaking the law -- and their past violations could bite them in the ass if they're found guilty of stealing from the rich and famous.
Courtney Leigh Ames was arrested for battery back in 2008, after she allegedly fought a co-worker. She eventually plead guilty to disturbing the peace and was sentenced to 24 months of probation ... which means no burglaring.
Johnny Dangerous -- aka Jonathan Ajar -- was convicted of DUI earlier this year. He was sentenced to 36 months probation ... but on Sept. 30, he was arrested for drug possession. The drug arrest could violate the terms of his probation ... which also prohibits burglaring.
Finally, Alexis Neiers was arrested on suspicion of driving around with some pot in her car back in July. But Alexis missed her court date so a warrant was issued for her arrest. She is not on probation ... but burglaring is still a bad idea.

Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson shopping for Rolex watches was a really big hit on the Internet ... at least with whoever was using the computer seized from suspected Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch member Nick Prugo.
We took a few screen grabs of sites visited on the seized comp -- and noticed there was a lot of interest in LiLo and Sam's watch shopping spree at Philllip Jewelry in Beverly Hills back in February.
LiLo's crib was allegedly robbed by the Burglar Bunch months later -- as we previously reported, we also found a picture on the computer of someone wearing what could be one of LiLo's stolen timepieces.

The Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch allegedly downloaded photos of Mariah Carey and Rihanna on a computer they used to target celebrity victims.
One of the photos -- obtained by TMZ -- shows Rihanna wearing diamond stud earrings. The Mariah pic shows the singer wearing long, dangling earrings.
There is no evidence the gang burglarized either Rihanna or Mariah. As we first reported, there are pictures of other stars who the Burglar Bunch allegedly did hit, including Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge.
We are putting a gallery together of other celebrities whose photos ended up in the alleged burglar's computer. We'll publish that gallery first thing tomorrow morning.

TMZ has learned the LAPD has officially handed the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch case over to the L.A. County District Attorney.
We're told the D.A. will take swift action and file charges later this afternoon against five suspects -- Courtney Ames, Nick Prugo, Diana Tamayo, Roy Lopez Jr. and Alexis Taylor.
Charges against Rachel Lee will not be filed today because the D.A. wants more info from the LAPD.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are used to being hit on -- not hit. But that's exactly what happened to them, courtesy of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch -- allegedly.
Law enforcement sources tell us Green's Hollywood Hills home was burglarized during the string of celeb break-ins. Various items were taken, including Green's recreational gun, which was locked up.
As for Fox, who spends a lot of time at Green's, all the Burglar Bunch allegedly took were clothes -- including several of Megan's signature t-shirts.
We're told Green, who has been shooting a movie in NYC, didn't even know he was hit. Sources say cops retrieved the stolen goods and returned them to him last week.
As we have been reporting, TMZ has obtained photos, emails and other data from a computer that the gang allegedly stole from an L.A. businessman. One of the photos on the hard drive -- the photo of Megan Fox we're using for this post.

Two suspected members of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch have been busted for stealing before -- but instead of knocking off filthy rich celebs, they jacked a ton of stuff from a cosmetic store instead.
Rachel Lee -- who cops believe is the mastermind behind the Burglar Bunch -- and Diana Tamayo were convicted of misdemeanor shoplifting on August 20, 2009 for stealing products from a Sephora in Los Angeles.
They were let go with a slap on the wrist -- some fines and probation -- but don't expect the same treatment if they're convicted for the new stealing spree.
