The following information was compiled from the city of Issaquah and Sammamish police reports:

A 63-year-old Los Angeles woman contacted police June 12 after suspecting someone of breaking into her deceased mother’s Sammamish home to “mess with her.”

The woman said she returns from time to time to the vacant home in the 800 block of 214th Place Northeast. She said she was back this time because of an extremely high power bill that reached $700 for two months.

The woman then explained how sentimental items would go missing in the Sammamish home and appear in her L.A. home and pointed out worn spots on the sofa arm rest she said weren’t there before.

Officers explained to the woman the high power bill could be due to a failing refrigerator that had molded and rotten perishables in it.

The woman assured police she wasn’t crazy.

NOT ‘TOXIC WASTE’

Issaquah police responded to a call June 6 of someone placing two barrels of “toxic waste” in the 600 block of Northwest Gilman Boulevard, near a green belt.
