What would have happened if they had not been insured, if I had not asked.
I did ask if he was insured and he said he was. I did not ask to see his documents though so, in retrospect, he probably was lying about that too.
I absolutely made a number of dumb mistakes, things I don't usually do. I actually chastise people who do the same things I did. It was a bad experience and these acts of poor judgement will not be made again.
Thanks for the input.
