I work as a consultant for a City located in Northern California (under a typical consulting contract). My last two checks were stolen by a postal employee before they reached me, and were successfully cashed by the thief. The postal inspector is investigating, but I do not expect to be able to recover anything from the thief. I'm getting the "run around" from the City; they said they are not sure that it is their problem.
Before I spend money on an attorney, I have these Questions: 1. Is the City obligated to replace the checks? 2. Is the bank obligated to do anything?
3. Is the post office obligated to do anything?
