A friend sent me check for several hundred dollars, but there was a error in how the letter was addressed that caused it to be misdirected to another apartment in the complex—basically, two pieces of information (including the name) point to me, and one piece of information points to the other apartment. I know this because I use the USPS's Informed Delivery, which sends you pictures of your mail before it gets to you, so I am pretty sure I know which apartment got it. (Unfortunately, I didn't notice the error until I went back to start hunting for the check.)
Someone else cashed the check about a week ago. My friend who wrote the check has reported it to his bank is waiting on them to get him more specific information on what happened to the check. I am going to ask the apartment management who lives in the unit that the check was apparently delivered to, but am not sure what to do with that information.
Should I need to file a police report? Is there anything else I need to do? How likely is it that my friend will get that money back?
