Personal check. Can't get through to the bank until morning. Wife filed report with PO. Unfortunately no tracking, after all what could possibly happen? Mom in law very trusting.I know you have already taken care to call your mother to have the check cancelled,
but was it a personal, bank cashier check, and letter envelope certified return receipt requested?
If your mother is out-of-state, call the FBI, have bank check routing #, acct # feds can track probablePersonal check. Can't get through to the bank until morning. Wife filed report with PO. Unfortunately no tracking, after all what could possibly happen? Mom in law very trusting.

Filed a report with the postal police who issued 2 case numbers: one for the opened mail and another for the stolen check. We'll see how that unfold. Girl taking the report wasn't very impressive in her engagement or her english diction. Meanwhile MnL is trying to stop payment on the check. Luckily wife's cousin is on site so will help to set up electronic transfers in the future.You could try the USPS Police. Although I am still a little fuzzy as to what they really do.

"Well Mitch, we've traced a number of shipments to a single address in Missouri, and each carton contained what the x-ray revealed to be an old hat; sometimes two or three. Authorities are attempting to piece it together as we speak. Back to you, Amanda."Apparently it's exciting enough to make a TV show (then again ... maybe not that exciting).

When I worked there, I loaded trucks, and occasionally a sorter would like to know what was in a box so would "accidentally" damage it. One time there was a pellet gun in the package and guess what this sorter was doing with it after he loaded it???Sadly apropos to today's discussion: Mom in law sent an Easter card with 6k check in on Monday. Card arrived this afternoon (Thursday), envelope had been opened and the check was missing. USPS is a closed system is it not? Gee, who could have taken it?

And yet, people still wonder why their favorite local business didn't survive the pandemic.A new annoyance -- businesses using "the pandemic" as an excuse for any irritating dubious change they want to enforce on an unwilling public...
