A Stolen Check Problem

[walrus]

It's been such a long time that I'm not sure there is much that can be done. If your in the US you should have:

Contacted the sponser to make sure the check was indeed sent and then request they put a stop payment on the check. They could send a new check or simply roll the amount over until the next pay period. (not sure how a sponser would handle this).

Contact the Postal Service. Tampering with US mail is a federal offense.

Now, again if your in the US, I would simply contact the Post Office and report it. Doubt that they can do much to get your $$$ back but it will alert them that there maybe a problem.
