My neighbor is a county sheriff. I inquired with him about this today. He
says:
1. Ask your local PD to run a "wants and warrants" using whatever
information you have. You should be able to get info (if any) for any of the
states via the PD for your jurisdiction.
2. Don't expect much from the local PD in the guy's jurisdiction. Unless the
amount stolen from you is over whatever the local (usually state)
break-point is for a felony theft, the usually haven't got the man-power and
resources to do much. However, if he's doing it to you, he may well be doing
it to others, and only a history of complaints will allow the local PD to
determine if there's a pattern and follow through.
3. Contact the postal inspector. The fact this was perpetrated using the
mail (in part) is a "bigger beef" than the stolen amount, and may well get
more action.

What you have is interstate mail fraud. I would contact the federal
postal inspector or maybe even the FBI. The local police aren't going to
be much help i suspect since their jurisdiction as well as their
resources are limited.
