Don't worry, I wouldn't have let them into the house. We chatted in the front garden.
Many, many years ago, before I was married, I was driving home late at night. Had to stop at traffic lights and a scruffy looking lady tapped on my car window. She said that she needed a lift into town as she'd missed the last bus - said she was staying at a hotel in the town centre and her luggage was there. What could I do but give her a lift to the hotel, couldn't leave her at the roadside.
We arrived at the hotel, I went in with her to check that she was OK and, wouldn't you know it, they'd never heard of her! She had no luggage and nowhere to stay that night.
She clearly couldn't afford the room rates there but the reception recommended a cheap B&B on the outskirts and rang through to book her in. Guess who ended up taking her there? Eventually, I got home.
