However, they do think the same people may have been involved in both incidents.
The troubled actor’s silver Mercedes-Benz was found abandoned down a ravine on Tuesday off Los Angeles’ Mulholland Drive with the engine still running.
A similar occurrence happened in the wee hours of February 5, 2010, when the actor reported his four-door Mercedes stolen and officials found it - at the bottom of a 100-foot cliff in Sherman Oaks, California.
Nobody was inside the latest abandoned car, which is believed to have been taken from the star’s home in the nearby gated Mulholland Estates.
A police source told RadarOnline.com: “We still have a few leads that we are chasing but we do not believe that Mr. Sheen was involved – he was the victim.
“We have not ruled-out that the same people could have been involved,” the source says.
News of the Mercedes joy ride has neighbors in the wealthy gated community re-thinking their own car security.
One told RadarOnline.com: “The whole incident is questionable to say the least – it’s a real stretch that two cars were stolen from the same location – something is definitely going-on.
“Everybody is making sure that their own cars are secure and that the alarms are on at all times now – nobody wants their car to end-up at the bottom of a ravine.
