That's worrisome, Sean. I thought there were procedures in place at the bank to keep that sort of thing from happening if someone just randomly got hold of your check. Get a credit report, at least.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Sean, you can go to the credit check website and put a fraud watch on your credit report -- they'll send you your credit reports so you can check to see if there have been any new accounts opened in your name, and for the next three months, there'll be a flag on your credit report for any banks or credit card companies to contact you before opening any new accounts for you.

I once stupidly put my rent check into the wrong envelope, and didn't notice because it was cashed on time. Banks will apparently deposit anything they're handed without question, unless someone complains.
They were able to fix the mistake once it had been pointed out to them. (Thankfully, both my landlord and the person who'd mistakenly deposited his check were both with Chase, so they just transferred the money.)

Ah hell Sean. I hope it turns out to be something easily clear-up-able.

Sean - that is beyond wrong. Hopefully (???) it is just a case of them stealing a check, and not your identity. Blarg in any case.
The A's are looking pretty good - but the season has barely started. So far to go... I am looking forward to opening day on Monday. And then Friday is the day they show my spotlight - I'm already nervous!!!

Banks will cash absolutely anything. My mom gave me a check once for some money she owed me, but she couldn't remember how much, so she wrote it to me but just left the amount blank. I filled in the date and the amount in completely different handwriting and, IIRC, green ink. It was about $500, so not tiny, and I remember hoping they wouldn't give me a hard time. Nope, no worries.
Neither of us realized until after they sent her the cancelled check a month later that she'd forgotten to sign the damn thing in the first place.

I bet I gave Trudy a Sunrise/Sunset moment just now, with my cuffoon love. Thank you, SPP! I might've gone on being desert vanilla without you and the rest of the Bitches.
Weirdest thing, at about 1:00 Super Porny Pants came wooshing through my office performing aerial cartwheels.
Now I know why.

My (apparently totally misplaced) faith in modern banking is shattered.
I swear to god, when I was a teller, we checked things like signatures and if the person a check was made out to was a depositer on teh account it was deposited to.

Ugh, Sean. I hope you can figure out what happened.
