Items taken from home in annual tour

A couple of unusual theft calls were received by the Liberty Lake Police Department the week of Sept. 29 to Oct. 6.

Several decorative items placed in a new home on the Spokane Fall Festival of Homes tour were reported missing on Sept. 29. The items had been taken from the home in the 24000 block of South Stonecrest Avenue at some point during the weekend show, said Police Chief Brian Asmus.

A resident called police about a stolen golf cart on Sept. 30. He reported that someone known to him had taken the cart and then moved out of the area. That person apparently used Craigslist to sell the golf cart and the original owner spotted the distinctive cart being driven around town, Asmus said. The case is under investigation.
