Norridge Mother Gets Her Money Back After Her Mortgage Check Was Stolen, Doctored, And Cashed
The single mother wants to find more than $4,000 that she says was stolen from her checking account.
CHICAGO (CBS) — A suburban mom said a check she sent was full of red flags showing it had been stolen and doctored when it made it to the bank – someone had gone in manually and changed letters and numbers, and even whited out the pay-to line and written something else.
Still, as CBS 2’s Jermont Terry reported Tuesday night, the Norridge mom said the thief successfully cashed her mortgage check – and it all left her in a horrible bind. Now, she, Norridge police, and the bank are all trying to figure out how the check got intercepted after she dropped in a mailbox.
