Stolen Check Info Requires SAR?

Answered by: 

Question: 
If using a software program, we become aware of a check drawn on our customers account is for sale on Telegram (a marketplace for help depositing a stolen checks) and it is over $25k would a SAR be required? We froze the item and to our knowledge the check was not purchased or negotiated.
Answer: 

Does your customer acknowledge that they wrote the check and it was stolen? Otherwise, I am not sure what law was broken and of what value it would be to law enforcement.
