Theft of Assets
Theft of assets refers to the actual theft of a person or entity's assets. Causing an organization to pay for goods and services not actually received (for example fictitious vendors or employees) or using an organization's assets for personal use are types of theft of assets.
Theft of Checks
Check theft involves stealing, and usually cashing, the check of another. Check theft may also refer to receiving goods or services by passing a bad check which is noncollectable due to insufficient funds or closed account. Penalties for this fraud vary by state.
