Hot take: A customer offered me cash to not report a draft issue

I was cleaning a chimney and noticed a draft problem that could lead to carbon monoxide buildup. The homeowner said they'd pay extra if I just cleaned it and didn't mention the issue in my report. What would you do in that spot?

You'd take cash to hide a carbon monoxide risk?

Come on now, is it really that big of a deal?

Seriously? Would you say that if it was your family breathing in poison gas? Money shouldn't make people ignore a deadly problem. That's like getting paid to hide that a truck's brakes are shot. Would you ride in that rig?
