As for my personal experience with it, I've only actually been picked up once after my car broke down. And that was from someone I knew. When they picked me up it was about a block from where I wanted to go anyway. I appreciated it though, they said they saw me walking when they drove by earlier.
I'm suprised. I'd never pick up anyone I didn't know I don't think. Unless I felt particularly compelled to help them. I do believe I would pull over to help some woman to change a tire, but besides that, they're on their own.
Just too risky. I usually carry a lot of cash, and I have a lot of valuable crap in my car (stereo, CDs, etc), so its not worth it.
