Not a legal type, but if you got merchandise for the check, stop the
payment and write another check or return the merchandise. Otherwise,
while I doubt it could be called theft, it'd have some odour of it
morally. In any case, stopping payment is the thing to do.

How sure is the merchant that the check is really lost? How sure is
the check writer that the merchant is telling the truth, since there
is bad blood?
