New Mexico Court of Appeals February 14, 2001, No. 20,479 (State v. Carbajal)

OPINION

PICKARD, Judge.

{1} This ease provides us with yet another opportunity to apply the seemingly technical rules governing theft-like offenses. At issue are two questions: (1) whether writing one’s true name in the payee line of a lost traveler’s check can be forgery and (2) whether possessing another lost check at the same time can amount to receiving stolen property.
