Good Samaritan Dad and Son Go Viral for Protecting Unlocked Candy Shop

Conner Smith and his son Charlie found the Uptown Candy Shop's doors left unlocked in Riverside and stayed until help arrived, days after the store opened its newest location.
Worried about theft, Conner Smith said his first thought was that loss could close Uptown Candy Shop, so he made the incident a teachable moment for Charlie.
Using the property's contact info, Farraj posted surveillance video showing her thanking the family for their help after they waited outside until help arrived.
After seeing the footage, Farraj posted the TikTok to thank the family and invited Charlie and his family to her chocolate factory for treats, telling reporters `They just walked off like nothing happened.`
The video went viral and the surveillance clip has since gone viral with viewers celebrating the simple act of neighborly kindness, while Conner Smith said `It feels surreal, like I'm living in an alternate reality`.
