I had my post intercepted recently and someone stole a mortgage cheque book and tried to present 3 cheques for the value in total of 10K!! Luckily there was a 2 grand limit and so all were bounced. If they had been under they would have been honoured so watch out! Hopefully would have got the money back but you never know. Also at the same time someone was trying to take my identity as I got a credit card application through the post that someone had applied for in my name online!! What a week that was. I took out added protection through my bank and it seems to have stopped it all now. Also bought a shredder.
