Modifying Joe's answer to add a getter makes it easier to use. With the below you simply say: if(ls)...

Object.defineProperty(this, "ls", {
  get: function () { 
    var test = 'test';
    try {
      localStorage.setItem(test, test);
      localStorage.removeItem(test);
      return true;
    } catch(e) {
      return false;
    }
  }
});
