I had a plumber do work on my house, and then never cashed the check. Around $1k if I remember correctly.
I needed him to come out to disconnect a 100-year-old radiator that fell off the wall and cap the pipes so we could keep the heat on in the house.
It was an emergency, of course, so I basically called the first person who could come out and do the work. I never really expected to ever be in touch with him again. By the time I realized he didn't cash the check, I no longer had his contact info.
I tried looking up the name on the check, but it didn't lead to anything.
If he showed up today and told me he lost the check, I'd give him a new one.
However, although his work was fine, his whole vibe was a little shady. Like maybe he took the job right before fleeing the country. Either that or he dropped dead.
After about a year I voided the check in my accounting software.
Hey it's me, shady plumber guy. New check pls
You gotta show up.
Hey it's me, shady plumber guy. I forgot where you live.
