STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (WJW) – Strongsville police are investigating a rash of checks stolen from the mail. Over the last two months, officers have received 16 reports in the city, including some businesses and Sts. Joseph and John School. The amounts are almost all in the thousands of dollars. One woman who asked to be identified by her first name only was taken for $9,300. 'It's scary,' said Linda. 'I mean, it really messes up your life.' Linda wrote two checks in December to St. Jude's Hospital and Shriners Hospital, each for $20, but the thieves changed the amounts to $5,000 and $4,300.
