premise: Theft by Check occurs when a person issues or passes a check with the intent of depriving the owner of property or service available in exchange for the check (1) knowing he or she does not have an account at the financial institution printed on the check or (2) knowing there is an open account at this institution but there isn't enough money to make payment on the check.
hypothesis: Jacob closed his account today but has left enough money forthe rent check he wrote two days ago in that account to clear the bank. This situation is the best example of Theft by Check.
