Absolutely. I've had so many strangers help me when they had no reason to (giving me a lift when I was stranded, helping me fix my car when I had no money for a mechanic, just generally going out of their way to help a random stranger for no reward) that it'd be bad karma if I didn't pay it back.

If I were alone and the person was a female, MAYBE. If I were alone and the person was a male, noooo. Sorry, nothing against men at all, but more men commit violent crimes than women, that's a fact.
If a guy was already in the car with me and we see a female who needs help, then absolutely! If it we see a man, then maybe.
I will retract everything I just now said. I like Ina's answer best, call a cab and give them some cab fare. Safer that way, and they can get to a safe place.

No way, if I pick up a hitch hiker, I would be putting my child and myself at risk. They always look innocent enough, but you have no idea who they are, where they came from, or what they are running from. Maybe it's cruel, but I don't want my daughter, or myself, chopped up in little pieces.

I pick up a little girl that was crying on the side of the street. I drove her home because she said she was lost. Her house was on my way to work. My problem was it was so early in the morning and school was out for summer. Be fore she left my car I told her never hitch a ride again.

Being the sappy person I am, yes I would pick up this poor hitchhiker. Because sometimes it's good do good things for other people. Someday you be rewarded and someone might do something nice for you sometime.

Yes, I try to do one good deed a day. If I did this I would not have to be nice to anyone else for the whole day

I wouldn't pick anyone up if I was alone, but if I felt they were in danger, i would the police to come help them.
