Laptop ‘claptrap’

Thief actress lies: director

Troubled actress Sean Young, who has denied stealing laptops from a Queens movie set, is “outright lying,” the film’s director told The Post on Saturday.

“Unbelievable! It’s like an episode of ‘The Twilight Zone,’ ” Timothy Hines fumed.

Young (right), whose alleged theft was apparently caught on video, said in a statement she simply grabbed the wrong laptops while she was there to retrieve belongings she left behind after being fired from the film “Charlie Boy” four months ago.

Hines called foul on Young’s version of events.

“Both laptops were opened and on the desk. One of the two computers was a Russian-language computer and the keypad was in Russian,” he said, noting one of the assistant editors is Russian.

“Her claim that she walked away with the wrong computers does not hold water. One look at it, she could tell it was a Russian keypad,” Hines added. “They are hooked into an editing system so they are always open. She has to close them to take them and couldn’t have missed the Russian keypad.”

The missing laptops are worth $12,000, police sources said.

Production of the low-budget flick came to a standstill following the heist at the film’s Astoria studio.

Young contends Hines and producer Dominick Martini knew she was coming to retrieve her stuff and that she found the door unlocked and no one around.

“I gathered what I believed to be my property but later discovered I was mistaken,” she continued.

The actress, 58, said she contacted the filmmakers to return the computers, but they claim they haven’t heard from her.

“She is outright lying to the media,” Hines said. “She made no attempt to call anyone. If she took the computers by mistake, bring them back. Why are they not in our hands right now?”
