Liberty Lake woman forgot about expensive trip to casino

On June 13 a resident in the 24000 block of East Maxwell Avenue called the Liberty Lake Police Department to report that her car was damaged and had been stolen sometime during the night.

She also said she was missing $1,200 and three credit cards, said Police Chief Brian Asmus.
