The bank doesn't refund the money to the account holder; they've already paid the money out to the person who forged the checks. If there was money in the account to cover the checks, then the bank isn't "out" anything, but if there isn't, then the account holder would have to come up with the money.
I'm no financial whiz, hopefully somebody else will have a definitive answer.
The account holder isn't held responsible as long as a police report is filed. My son had his debit card stolen by a friend. He wasn't responsible for the charges made on the debit card nor did the bank access any charges to his account.
