So the question is is there anything to do? Should I bother taking the check to the authorities? If so who would have any interest or ability to do anything about it.
Did you call the bank first? I would have done that so I am 100% sure. After that, blame UPS for having delived it wet. The bank won't take it. Have him resend it. that is what I did. Got the clown to Next Day it via Fedex twice from Nigeria. Tracked it too.

Flush it down the toilet or take it to someone. Nobody cares.
