Cliff notes ...

A Mercedes that actor Charlie Sheen reported stolen from his Sherman Oaks home was found overturned hundreds of feet down a nearby cliff early Friday, but there’s no evidence anyone was in the car when it went into the ravine, police said.

Police got an emergency call at around 4 a. m. from an OnStarstyle alert system that calls emergency officials when there is a problem with the vehicle that may require assistance, Officer Wendy Reyes said.

At about the same time, Sheen called police to say his four-door Mercedes-Benz had been stolen, Officer Bruce Borihanh said.

Police and firefighters found the car 300 to 400 feet down a cliff, upside-down in the brushy ravine.

They searched the area on foot and with an infrared-equipped helicopter but found nobody in or around the car, Borihanh said.

Sheen was not believed to have been in the car.

“It’s being treated as an auto theft investigation,” Borihanh said.

Sheen, 42, the star of the CBS comedy “Two and a Half Men,” is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Aspen, Colo., on domestic violence charges stemming from a Christmas Day incident. A police officer’s arrest affidavit quoted his wife, Brooke, as saying the actor pinned her on a bed while holding a knife to her throat.

Sheen and his wife are seeking modification of an order that prevents them from communicating with each other. She has said they love each other and want to reconcile.
