Stealing from Young Hollywood is tough work, but someone's gotta do it. Too bad no one is admitting anything yet.

Rachel Lee today became the latest of the alleged Burglar Bunch (aka Bling Ring) to enter a not-guilty plea to charges of looting millions of dollars worth of luxury items from the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Audrina Patridge, Megan Fox, Rachel Bilson, Ashley Tisdale, among others.

Lee, reportedly ratted out by an alleged accomplice as the ringleader, was arraigned on three counts of residential burglary and two counts of receiving stolen property—specifically from Hilton, Lohan and Patridge.

The 19-year-old is being held on $150,000 bond, and a preliminary hearing has been set for Feb. 10. Sound familiar? It should...

Get a load of these rap sheets:

• Courtney Leigh Ames, 19, pleaded not guilty to receiving stolen property, including a necklace belonging to LiLo, which Ames had the (alleged) gall to (allegedly) wear to her last hearing. Victims: Lohan and Hilton.

• Diana Tamayo, 19, pleaded not guilty to one count of residential burglary and one count of receiving stolen property. Victims: Bilson, Lohan, Tisdale.

• Alexis Christine Neiers, 18, pleaded not guilty to residential burglary. Hey, you know what they say about rap sheets and reality shows—everybody's got one! (Um, welcome to the family?) Victim: Bloom.

• Nicholas Frank Prugo, 19, originally charged with seven counts of residential burglary, he's now working with police and prosecutors to return the pillaged property. "If that makes me a rat, so be it," he said. Victims: Bloom, Hilton, Lohan, Patridge, Bilson, Fox. Phew.

• Jonathan Ajar, 27, a suspected participant in the bling ring, Ajar is currently in police custody after turning himself in on another set of drug and weapons possession charges from a separate case; the majority of the jewelry police recovered in the burglaries was found at his place. Victims: unclear.

• Roy Lopez Jr., charged with one count of residential burglary. Victim: Hilton.
