I just went through a mini-drama w/ a lost cashiers check, (it was for my rent, I was out of town). What I learned is that a CC can be *stop paymented*, but it is not possible once it has been cashed. If you can verify w/ the maker (bank) that it is authentic and cash it, you are in the clear.

You notice that I said "cash it", not deposit it in your bank. That would be stupid these days. If by chance it was fake or no good for any reason, your bank would charge you back for it. That is how every Nigerian scam victim gets it.

When you get the check, call the bank that it is issued from and verify the check #, amount, and purchaser's name. Do not simply call some phone# printed on the check, (think about this one), w/o verifying the # w/ a google of the # and the name of the bank. Good luck, if you follow these steps you should be fine. And motorcycles NEVER leave until paid for in cash, meaning you have cashed the check.
