Certainly don't try to put his check through a

wants to know where his merchandise and his "change" are. At that point
mention that you are having the authorities looking into the check and
you need his phone number to talk to him. You will never hear from him
again. It sounds like fun to me!
Better yet, say the check never arrived and request he send another. Then
keep making up successive excuses ("the dog ate it") until he throws his
hands up in frustration.
