undefinedWhat is the name of your state? washington. Well heres the story my friend casey gave me a check that was made out to me for $2,000 and i went to money tree to try and cash it and the lady at the desk called the company to see if i worked there because it was a pay check and when she found out that i didnt work there she said that she was calling the police and keeping the check. I was woundering if i could get into trouble even though i didnt steal the check or wright it out and i didnt even cash it. get back to me asap thanks.

If this is a company check and Casey is not an owner of the company, then you're in a whole heap of trouble.

"Duh, I got this payroll check but I don't work for the company, whaddya mean thats a crime?"

I see many dollars spent and many nights accomodation in a cozy little room with room service and a very good security system. They might even be provided with a companion to keep warm with at night :eek:
