What is the name of your state?GA
A friend of mine, Miles owns an athletic club,. He was having some work done to his air cond. The person doing it, Bobby, told him he needed a part. Miles gave him a business check and signed it. He left the pay to and the amount blank so that Bobby could fill in the amount at the parts store, apparantly he trusted Bobby a little too much. Two months later he discovers that Bobby had made the check out to the company he worked for, for a very high amount. He cannot recoup his money from Bobby because he's in jail, does he have legal recourse to sue the company who deposited the check? This is theft by deception right? or does it turn into a civil matter between the two businesses?
thanks
