Jeffrey J. Pyrcoch, 19, and an alleged accomplice were arrested in West 
Lafayette, Ind., in May on theft and fraud charges. Pyrcioch allegedly 
cashed checks that he had written with disappearing ink, apparently 
believing the checks would be blank by the time they were presented to 
the bank for collection. However, traces of ink remained, and police said 
Pyrcoch would have a better chance of getting away with it if he had not 
used checks pre-printed with his name and account number on them.
