The following information was compiled from city of Issaquah police reports:
An acquaintance called foul on a woman who reported a missing safe that had about $4,000 in Oxycodone pills Aug. 28.
The woman told police that in a rush, she accidentally left her house unlocked. She called the neighbors to have them lock it up for her.
She then said when she returned, the safe was missing.
Police made careful to note that nothing else, such as televisions, had been taken from the home on the 200 block of Mountain Park Boulevard Southwest. Still, they searched the neighbors house without avail.
The next day the acquaintance told police that she had done the same thing six months ago, hiding the safe at her ex-husbands home.
She told police it was a scam to get a new prescription for the pills, because she had run out.
Police found a report from the incident she described, where the woman had told police she needed the report to get more pills.
