Checks are people who go around "just checking" to see if your door is unlocked. Some may also check windows or other lockable areas. They'll often do this on a routine basis in a given area.
Mostly they are bottom-tier, opportunistic burglars who, as soon as they realize your door is locked, will be gone and continue on to "check" the next one. Catching them relies on being able to notice and bait their pattern successfully.
Some may also be homeless, sex offenders, or otherwise fuckin weirdos, so it's really just best to keep your doors locked, this isn't the 1950's, people.

"Yo, is someone trying to open the door?"
"Wut?"
"I said someone just tried to get inside the fuckin' house!"
"Oh, those are just the Checks. Evening rounds, nothing to worry about. They're already gone."

Get the checks mug.Refers to a totally-legal but still-somewhat-devious practice of writing personal checks for comparatively-minuscule bills --- like maybe just two or three bucks for a bag of fresh vegetables from a roadside farm-stand --- instead of paying them in cash, and then secretly hoping that the checks’ recipients will not want to bother going to the extra effort of cashing said “tiny” checks, and thus your bank-account’s “balance” will be unaffected by your purchases.
Practicing the “system of checks and balances” can have varying degrees of success, depending on various factors, such as how strapped your checks’ recipients are for cash, how accustomed they are to cashing/depositing checks, or how willing/able they are to accept checks, especially for such paltry amounts (here’s where paying with checks at an unattended “drop the money in the slot” or “place the money in the cup/jar” merchandise-stand can be a good idea, since there will be nobody there to balk at your paying with a check). Extra points if you “embellish” the checks with flowery praising messages about how wonderful the sellers’ merchandise/service is, since it may stroke the people’s ego so much that they will prefer to “frame it rather than cash it” (again, especially since the check is for such a small amount, and so its value might likely not mean all that much to the person’s overall budget) when deciding what to do with your checks.
