pain in the ass

the other day the bank called and said that someone had gotten a hold of our account number and tried to cash a check (a check they had generated - not one from our checkbook). unfortunately the guy (we know your name) grabbed the check before the bank could do anything about it so he still had it and was still out there. so we went through the whole process of locking down and flagging the account and changing everything over to a new account. they locked everyone and everything out of our account for 24 hours. very bad timing to have this happen since it was at the very end of the month and all the direct deposits/withdrawls happen on the 1st of the month - and we were locked out for 24 hours. so we finally got back in to the account today and have some cleaning up to do with all the stuff that went through at midnight BUT the bank just called and the dumbass just tried to go back and cash the check. they stalled him, called the police and arrested him on the spot! yes! justice!
