Joaquin Phoenix sure wasn’t laughing Monday after his car was stolen from his L.A.-area home … but “The Joker” star could have the last chuckle ’cause we’re told police are now working the case.
Law enforcement sources tell us … the famous actor was not at his house Monday afternoon when his 2022 Volvo SUV — parked just outside — was stolen.

We’re told one of Joaquin’s employees stepped outside the residence to find that Phoenix’s $60,000 ride was missing, and then contacted LAPD.
Our sources say the worker filed a police report for a stolen vehicle …. but cops have yet to make an arrest. The investigation is ongoing.

The car theft comes at a quiet time for Joaquin, who has flown under the radar this year. As you know, Joaquin starred as Arthur Fleck, AKA The Joker, in the 2024 film, “Joker: Folie à Deux,” alongside Lady Gaga, who played the role of Harleen Quinzel. Of course, Joaquin played the same character in the 2019 film “The Joker.”
We’ve reached out to Joaquin’s rep … so far, no word back.
