MONEY ORDERS

Continued from Page A1

said owner Brad McCluskie.
‘““They’re supposed to be legal
tender as long as the signatures
match.”’

The ‘store ‘later found out
both the money order and a
Woolco credit card used for
identification by the culprit
were Stolen.

“Canada Post’ should have
some kind of insurance to cover
the loss) because (the money
order) is stolen property,” Me-
Cluskie said. The customer
bought about $80 worth of mer-
chandise and = received — his
change in cash.

McCluskie is contemplating
legal action, but says, ‘The on-
ly thing we can do is pool
together with other businesses
because it would cost $500 fora
lawyer."’

Bland heard a radio. report
that Hsted the serial numbers of
the: stolen money orders two
days after he accepted one.

“ft would have been a- lot
more cautious if 1 had heard
they were stolen earlier,’* Bland
said. He is waiting to see if
Canada Past will offer restitu-
tion.

“Think of it in terms of a
cheque book being stolen,”’ said
Celine Gaulin of Canada Post.
“In-essence it is a forged che-
que.’”’

Sidney RCMP are. in-
vestigating the theft. Staff Sgt.
John Penz said Victoria and
Saanich police’ departments
have suspects and anticipate
charges will be laid.

They say 12 ‘money -orders’

were passed in the Greater Vic-
early-March.
Sidney. RCMP were not awire

-of the theft until. April 1.1. after:

the money orders. went through
channels’.-and were
returned to -the Sidney
businesses. ,

‘It’s the same with money
orders as with cheques,’’ said .
Penz. ‘It is necessary to satisfy
oneself with the authenticity of
the document before honoring
it.”

Gaulin said that before
businesses launch .a law. suit,
“They might wish to call and
try dealing with us before pro-
ceeding.”

A Canada Post internal. in-
vestigation is being conducted
in hopes of preventing money
order thefts from happening
again, Gaulin said.

‘It is a rare occurrence,’’ she
said. This is the first time stolen
money orders. have surfaced: in
Sidney, confirmed Penz.

‘*People have been arrested
trying to cash’ stolen money
orders, but there have been no
arrests in connection to the ac-
tual theft,’ said Gaulin.

About 300 money orders and
an imprinting machine were
stolen from the post office at
Quathiaski Cove on Quadra
Island in October 1987, Gaulin
said. Each money order can be
made out to a maximum. of
$200.

If all the stolen money orders
were made out for $200, and
passed = successfully, - thieves
could net as much as $60,000,
Gaulin said.

Travellers cheques are safer
for merchants to accept, ac-
cording to bank officials.

Stolen. travellers cheques
cashed. by a business will be
honored by the travellers -che-
que. company ‘‘as long as the
counter signature closely
resembles the original
signature,’’ said Sandi. Irving,
district information - services
manager for the Bank of Mon-
treal.

“The merchant: would suffer
no loss,’’ Irving said. ‘‘He pro-
bably: would never even know if

the travellers chaque was lost or
stolen.”’ - ,

- The |-Bank. of Commerce
agrees. ‘‘If. sufficient - ID is
taken. and: the signatures.match

up perfectly, the travellers, che-.

que company will honor them,’

Watch for stolen
money orders |
coming here again,
postal official warns

Businesses should watch for stolen money orders surfacing
on the Saanich Peninsula again, a Canada Post spokesman

said.

About 140 stolen money orders have been passed on Van-
couver Island, the Lower Mainland and as far away as Banff,
corporate communications officer Celine Gaulin said.

Almost 300 money orders and an imprinting machine were
stolen from the Quathiaski Cove post office on Quadra Island

in October 1987.

Each money order carries a 10-digit serial number. The first

_ nine numbers on the stolen money orders are 556351291 to
556351600 inclusive, Gaulin said.

The 10th number.in each serial number is a control number

for internal use by Canada Post, but the first nine numbers

can be used by merchants to determine if the money orders

are stolen, Gaulin said.

The serial numbers were provided to police departments by
a nationwide computer system shortly after the robbery,

Gaulin said.

In addition; each time a stolen-money order is passed, an
investigation by police is conducted in the area, said Gaulin.

Once a stolen money order is bank deposited by a merchant
it goes to Ottawa for processing. The merchant does not find
out it was stolen until it is returned from Ottawa and forward-

ed back to him by the bank.

“If the merchant does not know the customer and he has

insufficient 1D, check with the local post office,”’

Gaulin ad-

vised. Police should be called if the money order number mat-
ches up to serial numbers of stolen money orders released by

the corporation.
