Sounds like she got lucky, but I’d still advise contacting the bank and having her account/routing number changes. One doesn’t need a physical check to get money out of a checking account.

Better safe than sorry.

So, everyone to whom you have ever given a check can steal from you since every check contains your routing and account numbers. Following your logic, you should change your numbers after writing every check.

Before companies started losing computer data online, how do you think people stole identity information? Exactly that way - copying a check’s data fields before the check got deposited. In this case, however, there i no telling how many people may have seen the check information before the good samaritan found it. it may be unlikely, but it is a sensible suggestion from a security standpoint.

Like I said, I so seldomly write checks that I hadn’t even noticed I lost it. I’m closing out this account after I graduate next month anyway, but I think if they were going to steal my info, they wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of sending it back to me.

Yeah, actually they can. Scary, isn’t it?
