What to do, what to do?

July 16th, 2006 at 02:10 am

I wrote a check and an OCP slip out for 35$ to a DRP and I put it in my purse along with the latest Netflix return. My first stop was the grocery store. In addition to groceries, there is a blue mailbox in the parking lot. After parking, and about a third of the way to the mailbox, I reached into my purse and just found the Netflix envelope. No DRP envelope. Back tracked, but no envelope. Okay, maybe it means that I forgot to put it in my purse. Mailed the Netflix DVD, ran my errands, got back home, looked around, dug behind the couch...

No DRP envelope. Found the cover envelope that everything came in, so I wasn't imagining things.

I want to think that a good samaritan found it and mailed it, or tossed it, or even would stick it back into my mailbox. I fear the opposite - that someone opened the envelope, steals the check and my account, or worse, sells the shares I have. I mean we aren't talking thousands, just hundreds, but ick.

What to do?

    I think the odds are that someone found it and mailed it. I once lost a wallet with cash in it and it was returned to me, nothing touched. Most people are good folks.

    Have you checked your car to make sure it didnt fall out of your purse there?

    If you dont find the envelope, chances are- a good samaritan will....

    ...but there is always the possibility of a not --so--good one finding it. If so, there are a number of things they could do with that check- all not good.

    You may want to be safe rather than sorry and contact your bank to determine what they recommend....a stop payment, closing the account, etc.

    Egads. Good luck.

    Yes, I checked the car. Nothing.

    I think I'm going to contact both my bank and the transfer agent (the bank that takes care of my stock account.). basically the bank for a stop payment on the check and the transfer agent to secure the stock account.

    Maybe you accidendally put it in the Netflix envelope -- or maybe you just didn't notice that it was sort of stuck to the Netflix envelope & you therefore mailed both?
