stolen check

soory this may be a silly question, but hopefully easy to answer.

I wrote a check to my daughter for $300 and she has lost it. Her full name and last name are on the check. If somebody find the check and tries to cash it how difficult would it be? If the person would deposit it to his/her account it will probably be very easy to go after him.

In plain words, is it worth to stop the check for a $30 fee, or it is less than 10% chance that somedoby will irreversibly pocket the money?

Thanks!

Answering from a banking standpoint, you could end up saving yourself a lot of trouble by just placing the stop payment on the check. If you don't and the check clears you can still get your money bank by reporting it to your bank and filling out an affi for forged endorsement, but it could take months to get your money back. It is best to prevent it from even happening.

Thanks a lot, Veronica. I generally trust that there are many more honest people than crooks, so the chances the check will be found by a crook is not too high. The important part is that after some paperwork I will get money back even in that unlikely event, therefore I can safe myself 30 bucks risking only some hassle, and the risk is not very high. Thanks again for your clear answer!

I would do what Veronica suggested just for the peace of mind.

Have you ever heard of check washing?

Eh, I've heard better blonde jokes.

Q: Why did the blonde girl stick her head out of the moving car's window and open her mouth?

A: She needed a fill-up.

Two blondes were standing on opposite sides of the river.

One blonde yells to the other, "How do I get to the other side of the river?"



The other blonde yells back, "You're already there".

That's a good one. Here's another...


Q: Why was the blonde upset when she got her Driver's License?
A: Because she got an "F" in sex.

A guy walks into the psychiatrist's office wearing only a pair of cellophane shorts.




The Doctor took one look at him and said, "I can clearly see your nuts".

Ha-Ha! That one was funny. You moved on from the blonde jokes, but I have one more...

Q: What is it called when a blonde blows in another blonde's ear?
A: Data transfer.

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store,
but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy,
"Do these turkeys get any bigger?"



The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

A policeman pulls over a driver for swerving in and out of lanes on the highway. He tells the guy to blow a breath into a breathalyzer.

"I can't do that, officer."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm an asthmatic. I could get an asthma attack if I blow into that tube."

"Okay, we'll just get a urine sample down at the station."

"Can't do that either, officer."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm a diabetic. I could get low blood sugar if I pee in a cup."

"Alright, we could get a blood sample."

"Can't do that either, officer."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm a hemophiliac. If I give blood I could die."

"Fine then, just walk this white line."

"Can't do that either, officer."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm drunk."
