He brought over his 3 year old daughter too and my son played with her while we did the transaction.
It's not the first time I hear about petty criminals using children has a decoy to their misdeed, but bringing one's daughter to conduct a scam that could have gone wrong very quickly is just shocking to me!
I remember watching an interview with a car thief serving time in prison who claimed he always took his toddler daughter along so as not to look suspicious.
