If you find a blank money order, fill in your name and cash it, can you be charged with a crime?
Yes, you can. The person who bought the money order should have a receipt identifying the money order, and may have reported it lost or stolen. If you deposit it, even if you aren't suspected of stealing the money order itself, you would still be taking money that does not belong to you.
Consider taking it back to the issuer.
