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

A homeowner discovered five men, all strangers, hanging out in her garage at night, after she forgot to close it Nov. 5.

She discovered the men, who were wearing dark clothing, after hearing voices outside on the 4000 block of 232 Avenue Southeast, Sammamish. They were hanging around a refrigerator, at the front of the garage.

Seeing the men, she ran into the house and called police. By time the officers arrived, the men were gone, and so were several bottles of wine kept in the refrigerator.

Denied access to Tent City

A woman was denied entry to Tent City 4, which moved to Issaquah last month, after the staff discovered she had a warrant on her name Nov. 2.

The officer explained that it was a non-extraditable warrant from Florida. The woman insisted that it was a mixup.

She said she was born in Florida, but that someone else was using her name there. The officer told her to contact the Florida authorities about the matter and gave her the crisis clinic telephone number.

Stolen donations

Someone stole a change jar for the Ronald McDonald House from the Sammamish McDonald’s at about 10:30 p.m., Oct. 31.

A thin male teenager with a black baseball cap and coat, grabbed the donations from the front counter and took off in a silver, 4-door car.

Too cozy at a fast food joint

Police kicked out a homeless man who was sleeping in a fast food restaurant on Gilman Boulevard in Issaquah on Nov. 1.

When the officer arrived, the caller asked that the man be arrested for trespassing. The man eventually left without further incident.

Speeder drives drunk

A man was arrested for drunk driving after an officer saw him speeding along Issaquah-Pine Lake Road Southeast on Nov. 5.

The officer clocked him going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. When the officer followed, they saw the man’s white Chevy Tahoe cross over the fog lines.

When police officers asked him if he’d been drinking, he told them he had chugged down two Coronas at a bar in Issaquah before driving home.

Burglars smash open back door

A burglar smashed open a back door and made off with thousands in jewelry in a Sammamish home Oct. 31.

The homeowners’ daughter returned home from school, entered through the garage as usual, and discovered the smashed glass window. It had been broken near the lock to gain entry.

There were muddy footprints leading upstairs into the master bedroom, where $15,000-$25,000 in Indian gold jewelry was missing.

The jewelry wasn’t secured, and the house alarm hadn’t been set on the 3200 block of 211 Place Southeast.
