    I sent a cheque for £10k to a savings account on Friday plain old first class. I feel sure that my Bank would not clear this if there were any sign of tampering at all. Recorded delivery is a cheap option if you want to feel a little more secure. It does appear to concern you so why not go for this method, you can check on line time and date of delivery.

    What about identity theft? You not worried about that at all? Stories like the one below, make me cautious.
