According to many reports, Paris Hilton broke up with Doug Reinhardt solely because she caught him flirting with an ex-girlfriend, but the Chicago Sun-Times seems to have a different story. They’re reporting that Doug, who apparently thought Paris was too rich to notice a few extra charges on her credit card, had been sneaking in purchases here and there with Paris’ money without her knowledge.

The Sun-Times found some “reliable sources” who reported that Doug had been overheard bragging to friends about how he was using his “skills” to use Paris as his “meal ticket for life”.  Doug’s whole plan was foiled when Paris’ accountants noticed a number of unauthorized charges on the heiress’ credit cards.  Apparently Doug had been charging clothes, artwork, jewelry, and watches on Paris’ accounts without her permission.

No word yet on whether or not Paris’ people will be working to recover the stolen shopping spree money.
