Capt. Chris--

Sorry to hear you were hit.

Theft of mail is getting to be "big business" for some people. In Ohio, thieves are stealing mail from the blue drop boxes, modifying the checks to change the amounts and the "pay to," and cashing them. These drop boxes are usually in locations where less affluent people find them convenient, but so far the thieves don't seem to be as sophisticated as whoever stole your checks.

I would think law enforcement could track the electronic trail of whoever stole from you--but will they bother?
