    Dead video card?

    Lost check

    My girlfriend wrote me a check today, and like a moron I've lost it already. What bad can come of this? What are the odds of something bad happening? We've already stopped payment on the check, but she's worried about fraud. I'm trying to tell her it'll be okay, but I'm not sure myself. Has...
