I wrote a cheque to a company who installed some granite in a kitchen. They called me yesterday, and said they lost it, and wanted a new one. Now, I can do a stop payment of the cheque, but I'm pretty sure that's not 100% effective.

On the other hand, it's a pretty small business that I'm dealing with here, so they probably need the money. But it's enough money that if both cheques got cashed, I'd be pretty unhappy. What would you do? Could I write something up saying if the other cheque turns out and someone cashes it they're liable for repaying me the money?

I don't want to be a jerk about it, but I'm not really interested in losing the thousands of dollars involved. The cheque was written off a LOC account if that matters.
