Nope, nada, no how. I have two mtbs I'll lend in certain, very special circumstances. I have seat height and saddle angle set for me and no one shall touch it. I am very particular in how I care for my bikes and how they are treated so I just don't even want to get into the possibility of dealing with damage. I get the shivers watching people put their bikes on the ground derailleur side down or throwing wheels in the car unprotected or clamping frames in racks. Nobody is allowed to do that to my babies.
