I had a similar situation happen a few years ago. A guy I thought was a friend came over to my house and when I was in the other room stole a blank check. He ordered new checks and had them sent to his house then set out writing them all over town. He also opened up a handful of credit accounts in my name. All in all it ended up being about 40K worth of credit and bad checks. It took me over year to get everything fixed. I pressed charges and he is in jail now but he is in for assaulting his girlfriend, not writing bad checks. They did it that way so it would be a violent crime and be his second strike, one more and he goes away for a long long time.
If it were me I would press charges. The reason would be so that she would fully understand that when you need help or are desperate you can't just steal from people then cry to them and have everything turn out okay.
Glad you got your money back and found out who did it though.
