Contact the bank and say you think your checks where stolen

Go to the bank and tell them what happened.

Contact your bank. Tell them your checks are either lost or stolen ... have them put a "stop payment" on the check #s from the missing book and get some new checks ... and of course, while you are at it, get and memorize the routing number.

contact your bank immediately..have them put a stop on all the missing cheques..tell them what happened. They deal with this all the time:)

I work at a bank, what I recommend is if you are really concerned that your checkbook is stolen or lost,you should just close your account and re-open a new one all together. Your checks have your account number on them, and it leaves your account compromised. I know it sounds tedious, but with how identity theft is such a huge problem these days its better to be safe than sorry. Trust me, being a victim of it sucks and it doesnt take very much for thieves to get in! Not only do they steal from you but it takes a very VERY long time to recover because the bank and the police need to investigate the situation. So that I know is a headache itself. But anyway, if you want my opinion I wouldn't risk it! Hope this helps!
