Since cash is probably used to purchase the money order those monies have been given to the place that prints out the money order. However in many cases the person can get a replacement money order. I do not know if refunds are ever done on money orders.

I know there is a fairly straightforward way to replace a money order IF you have the receipt stub and the money order has not been cashed. In that case a person can fill out the necessary form(s) (in some cases the information is entered onto the stub itself) and sent in along with any required fees. After that a trace is put onto money order in question and if it has not been used the company should send out a replacement money order within a specified amount of time.

It is a good idea to fill out money orders at the first opportunity as it makes it much easier for a person to use a blank money order and present it at a place of their choosing .

What happens the person when your money order was stolen?

A money order comes with 2 parts. The top part you send to the company/person that you are sending the money. The second part is your receipt and you should be able to take that to the place where you bought the money order and get a new one. Look at the fine print on your receipt to see what the process is for a lost/stolen money order.

Can you keep the money order you found?

No... you cant keep it..Money orders are like personal checks,they have traceable numbers and require a (Pay to the order of)Name and a signature to cash the money order..The person who purchased that money order and lost it can easily have that money ordered canceled and be issued a new one..making the one you have completely void...If you cash the money order before that happens the person who purchased it can easily have it tracked down and the unauthorized person arrested for theft and/or check fraud...Also there is a chance that the money order was stolen in a burglary and its has already been canceled,but if you try to cash said money order it will alert the police and you could be arrested for possesion of stolen property and attempted bank fraud..turn it to where it came from or rip it up...
