Maybe you would do that, but they have the N-number and check number, and
in many States, bouncing a check falls under the fraud statutes. Bounce
one in Tennessee and fail to make it good (with penalties) within ten
days, and you're looking at 2 to 10 years. And they *will* extradite.

While I would love to believe this to be true, in my experience law
enforcement regards a bounced check as a civil matter.

Personally, I would institute the death penalty for kiting checks -- but,
since most people regard that as a bit extreme, we simply (and regretfully)
don't accept personal checks at all.
