So they boosted the check, kept the amount the same and the check number the same, and tried to cash a just printed check filled out with a new payee?

Good that the bank was suspicious.

Large amount and he had no account there. Also, their check had a different font than ours normally do.

Jesus Christ on make the beast with two backsing rollerblades.
That guy is out of his mind.
Just like that guy in Holland that built his own 4-rotor Wankel from scratch.

Thankfully there's not much scrap to play with. The guys have been doing a great job.

It's actually going really well. Last year was huge and this year is shaping up just as well.

We're actually paying ourselves now. It only took eight years.

Still better than working for the man.

Good for you, Kevin.

When I had my shop I never worked harder, longer, or made less but it was always better in some ways than putting that much effort into someone else' pocket.
