Stick with your gut feeling and don't do it or offer. I had a female friend from the sports bar I went to who, while ok and pretty, was also a couch-surfer who'd stay with friends until they kicked her out for a variety of issues. Her nickname was "Sticky Fingers", since she had a habit of stealing things, money, whatever she could get her hands on and hock or sell. She was caught several times, but nobody called the cops, only threw her out. She also kept company with the drug crowd, so, pretty and nice at the bar or not, wasn't the best person to have around.
She did ask me, twice, about staying with me, knowing I have a guest bedroom and live alone, and my brains screamed "No!". I told her nicely, but, did decline her request. I didn't want to be next in line for theft, the drug crowd, or having to call the police on her.
IIN to not let my friend stay with us?
