[pianotech] Customer dilemma

[Gerald Groot]

Hi Cy! (See you at the convention?!) 

I don't think that we can technically take it as a write off seeing as how
technically it is also not income seeing as how the check/cash was lost by
Walley.  I believe though, that in order to consider something as a write
off, that we have to actually distribute the money in one form or another to
a church or what have you with a receipt from the that organization as proof
that we did so.  Losing a check, I don't think (?) can be considered as a
legitimate write off.

We each have to determine how much time we want to spend chasing payments.
If you let it go, be sure to track it for tax purposes as a write-off.
