	I'd just like to point out that when you post things of this nature
on a national network, you should say that you did not receive a canceled
check from your bank or other form of statement showing that the check was
cashed.  You're implying a criminal act with no real proof.  As it stands,
if you're really worried you can just cancel the check at the bank.  Even
the banks that charge don't charge more than $.50 (Unless mine is
unusual)
