    I have a check on my wall written in 1980 on a closed account. The
    guy told us that the check was no good momentarily, but would be good
    in a day. He called the next day and told us that it still was not
    good. In fact, he called us almost daily with the same news for a
    couple of weeks. Finally, we took the check to the bank and ran it
    through. It came back on a closed account. Sound illegal to write a
    check on a closed account? The bank manager told us to take it to the
    cops. Here is the interesting part, In being naive and telling the
    cops the exact course of action, we managed to allow that yes, indeed
    he told us it was bad the moment he handed it to us. In their view,
    it was an extension of credit. Not a criminal case. This cop that
    stood about 6'6" leaned down real close and personal like and said to
    me. "Sounds to me like it's time to go break some bones". I suspect
    that that would have given us an aggravated assault charge good for a
    twenty year stretch. Make sure that you didn't extend this guy
    credit.
