Uncovered :: Forgeries

Handwriting can be forged very easily if the forger is trained and well informed. But if the forger is not very talented (Forrest), then the forge could be easily identified as a fake. Here is an example. The top sample is my personal handwriting. The next one down was Forrest's freehand impersonation of my sample. The third one down was done by being held up to a window and traced onto a separate paper. He failed pretty miserably, but he did give a valiant effort.
Below is a ripped up check written to Isaac Bear by an anonymous class member. We were to put the check back together, a task I found very difficult, and then identify the writer of the check. After a painstaking process of piecing together the check, I correctly identified the author as Hamp.
