What is the name of your state? OH
I had an employee that had stolen some tools and pawned them, he admitted to it and gave me the pawn ticket and his drivers license, I wrote him a check for the hours he had worked, minus the amount of the pawn, in the agreement that he would meet me in the morning and we would go to the pawn shop and retrieve the items that were stolen. The next morning he did not show up, so I went to the pawn shop to get the tools, well not all of them were there, so I put a stop payment on the check. In the mean time he had taken the check and cashed it at a bar, I didn't think he would be able to cash a check with no license, he got his money and now the bar that cashed the check is taking me to small claims court because they are out the money. Am I responsible for the debt to the bar or is the guy that cashed the check?
