Woman's call to police: Someone cleaned my house [View All]

[Phoenix135]

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - When Debbie Phillips tried to report a crime, police just snickered.

"I told him that someone came into my house and cleaned," she said. "He just laughed."

The problem wasn't that her home smelled a little fresher or looked a little tidier. The problem was that Phillips had no idea who the mystery cleaner was.

Her husband denied cleaning up the joint. So did her next-door neighbor. Everyone she asked denied responsibility.

All she knew was the rugs weren't where she had left them that morning in June. Trinkets had been rearranged and the bed in the master bedroom was made differently.

It didn't look like anything had been stolen, but she couldn't be sure.
