Answer

You may make a supplement to your police report; the forging of you name and cashing the money order is a new and separate offense. You also have the right to file a civil suit against the person who caused you damage; please remember, however, that just because you sue someone doesn’t mean you’ll get any money. I’m going to guess the person who did this to you is in as bad or worse financial shape as you are. You can get a civil judgment, but if the defendant has no ability to pay, the judgment is worthless.
