here's the scenario:
My SIL (son in law) sold his old Jeep Wrangler for 6 grand. Dude gave him a check, SIL kept title and took pic of dudes driver license. He is young, he should have known better. Check is no good. What should he do next?

The sheriffs office says its a civil matter because it was a broken contract. I don't know if I believe that

Go with the sheriff and get that truck back. He doesn't own it because he bounced the check

Call local DA’s office. Had to do this before at an old job. DA’s office sent the person certified mail giving them a deadline to make the check right (including NSF fees our bank charged us) or they’ll have a warrant issued for their arrest.

Did he call the guy? Is the check “no good” as in NSF or is it written on a closed account?

I might call the guy before I start hassling the sheriff.

dumb

SIL kept title

then he can say he never sold the car and state it was stolen. Since that effectively what has happened.

This is why you call banks when someone gives you a large check, to verify funds.

He should have at least called the bank to verify funds before handing over the keys.

Time to get the Sheriff involved.
