"Employee Problems." Harold, who is 97 years old, runs a successful hardware store. He never had any trouble with dishonest employees in the past. Unfortunately, he hired an assistant accountant, Renee, who had significant financial problems and began to steal from Harold. Renee came in early and took the rubber stamp of his signature that Harold kept in an unlocked drawer along with some checks and used the signature stamp to create a check payable to her. She then took it to the bank and cashed it. Harold, who was diligent in examining his bank statements, noticed the unauthorized check to Renee. He also noticed an unauthorized check cashed by Susie, another employee. Susie did not know about the stamp in the unlocked drawer and instead broke into Harold's personal office, stole checks from a locked cabinet, and skillfully forged his name. Harold immediately informed his bank about the check involving Renee. He held off, however, on informing the bank about Susie, who was twenty five, because he knew she had incurred some significant vet bills for her Corgi dogs, Baby and Bre. Harold also thought he might ask Susie for a date. Harold, who was honest, told the bank manager what he suspected had happened involving Renee taking his stamp and checks from the unlocked drawer. The bank manager told Harold that the bank was not required to reimburse Harold because Harold was responsible for his own losses. A few weeks later, Harold asked Susie out on a date. She told him that she couldn't go because she had started dating her veterinarian. Harold is very grumpy and tells the bank manager about the unauthorized check to Susie 35 days after he received his bank statement and discovered the forgery. Unfortunately, when Harold opened his next bank statement, it was discovered that after she wrote the first check, there had been several other forgeries by Susie. The bank was notified of those forgeries within 15 days of when Harold received his bank statement. The bank refused to reimburse Harold for the checks written by Susie again claiming that he was responsible for his own losses. Becoming grumpier by the minute, Harold institutes litigation against the bank. -Set forth the characteristics that a traveler's check must have.
