you could still be held liable. I would high recommend you to register a complaint with your local police station and have the FIR number safe. Just in case someone claims it, you will have a valid proof to claim misuse of a stolen property.

File a police complaint regarding the missing of signed blank check with its number. With the copy of FIR give a written stop payment to the bank. It is a good ground. If anyone file a case based on this check, he is liable to prove the liability
