    Nope. I would call AAA or some other type of help to assist, but he wouldnt have access to my home, my land line or my cell.

    • I find it interesting that the vast majority of answers agree with this one (answer = No). Statistically speaking, there is very little danger (at least in most of the US). There's a wonderful scene in Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" where Moore and a risk-assessment expert are standing at the corner of Florence and Normandie ('ground zero' during the Rodney King Verdict riots). The risk expert explains that someone standing there is at far greater risk of harm from the visible smog than from a street crime at that location. Moore then tries to convince some police officers to arrest those responsible for the smog...:-D...

    • I am guessing you are a male. Women learn very early that they are at greater risk for violent crime such as this and thus must constantly be vigilent about their surroundings and the people in those surroundings. Oh....and nothing personal...but Michael Moore is an idiot. :-)

    • NitOwl -- I beg to differ. If Moore truly were an idiot, you wouldn't bother to call him one because it wouldn't be worth your time. You are correct, I am male. And the statements that "women are more likely than men to be a victim of violent crime" and "statistically, unless you live in a rotten neighborhood, your chances of suffering a violent crime are very low" can BOTH be true at the same time.
      BTW, here's the guy who was advising Moore for that part of Bowling for Columbine:
