Thief In the Night... Or should I say Day??

To the person who stole my checkbook please note the following:

(1) You messed with the wrong girl. And not in the I'm the big bad wolf kind of way but in the way that I won't stop searching for you. Oh yay, I did it, I've already called the stores in which you've written checks to. What irritates me the most about you right now is the fact that you think you are going to drag my name all over your town, writing bad checks, and attempting to ruin my credit and I'm going to sit back and watch... the joke just might be on you sweetie.

(2) You might be writing fake phone numbers and drivers license numbers on my checks but you are getting careless. So please continue with your careless streak it's fun for me to watch. Oh how I love a good game.

(3) Clearly the area in which you are doing this, you live, because all places have been relatively close. Really - that close to home and you don't think someone won't find you. hmmmm

(4) When you go to places that put date/time/operator stamps on checks, it might make it easier to see you on camera. I sure hope you and your friend were smiling.

(5) And oh yeah my favorite, writing fraudulent checks I'm pretty sure is a federal offense. If not federal, it is criminal. You are signing my name in all sorts of crazy ways, and you are stealing from those companies - not me because you see I closed that account back when you thought it was a good idea to steal from me. So they might go through and you might buy your $100 groceries, and $100 items at a particular 'dollar store'. But you'll get greedy and it will catch you. I'm pretty sure department stores don't take stealing lightly.

(6) Well actually this might be my favorite one. When you stole my checks I was at a Christian women's conference learning about how God is Able. So therefore my dear sweet thief or thieves, shall God deem that we find you - it will be done because He is able. He knows no limitations, no bounds, he knows all, and sees all. If nothing else scares you - I would hope that would. He knows who you are, he knows where you are, and shall his will be done; you will be caught. So I just keep praying the Lord would find favor on the innocent (myself and the two stores you stole from) and that you would be held accountable for your actions. And I don't say those things out of anger or hatred - I say them with sympathy for you.

So to my thief in the day, whoever you may be, I will persevere, I will keep track of where you go through those returned checks, and I will continue looking in all avenues. My mamma didn't nickname me a 'bulldog' because I'm sheepish.

Sleep tight........
