Not worth the risks....
The guy who murdered the old man in Meredith a few years back - his first victim a young kid 20 or so, picked him up hitchhiking in MASS.
I picked up a hitchhiker when I was in college about 20 years ago. It was pouring rain and he was pathetic looking on the side of the highway - I felt bad. But I must say - I never felt comfortable all the while he was in the car. Luckily he wasnt going very far down the road.
I also had a roommate who was hitchiking way back then and a farmer picked him up and drove him 30 miles north to the Canadian border - and said "That will teach you to get in the car with a stranger." He then drove off.
Just not worth the risk.
