Get away with what? Once it's signed on the back, it's payable to whoever is in possession of it. It's not a whole lot different than finding cash on the street, except you know in this case who lost it.

This is correct. It's yours if you want it. But do the right thing...

The person who lost it can still come after u for the funds. Even if it can't be proven criminally then it would easy to prove in a civil court. UNless it has been signed over to u by the peron the check is made out to then it is still not yours. U can get it cashed no problem but u can still be liable for it.
