Morning all, just wanted to let you know my dear old relative (in her very late 80's) was stolen her cheque while queuing outside one of the banks in Bromley (high street) last Thur/Fri (29th or 30th Oct) before noon. Sad

According to her, she had her cheque in her purse and queuing to get in to a bank. As it was nearly her turn to go inside, she took the cheque out of her purse and someone guy just bumed into her and stole the cheque !!

Bank worker tried to chase the guy but they couldn't find him.

As the cheque was adressed to her (means, she is the only recipient)
I believe the theif can't do anything about it but, her name & address were written on it so that's a bit concern.

She said she cried after what happened and I really feel sorry and angry for her Sad

I know it's a tough time for everyone but this is disgusting targeting vulnerable old person.

Sorry to hear of your relative's awful experience.

The thief shouldn't be able to pay in a cheque in your relative's name, but he may attempt to alter it. If it's possible I would recommend your relative asks whoever wrote the cheque to contact their bank and cancel it.

Thanks @WitchesSpelleas for your kind words
This morning we've contacted the company who wrote the cheque to cancel it.

Please let your neighbours and friends know to be extra cautious.
