Missing vehicle was just misplaced
Report of stolen auto later retracted
Two vehicles were recently reported stolen in Liberty Lake, but it turned out that one of them wasn’t missing after all.
A woman called Liberty Lake Police on July 8 to report her vehicle had been stolen from the Liberty Lake Park and Ride lot sometime during the day. The woman said she may have accidentally locked the keys inside the car since she couldn’t find them.
On July 9, a man called police to report a car stolen from the 500 block of North Garry Road. However, he called back a short time later and told police that he’d forgotten he left his car in Spokane Valley the night before and it had not been stolen.
