Besides the obvious exposure to pests/disease (and bad people), are there any reasons not to "sunbathe" indoor plants outside when the opportunity is there?
New Grower sunbathing indoor plants?

Can't see why not if temps outside are ok.

I have been doing it for my new plants, eventually they will be going out side permanently though. They really like the full day of sun when its not to cold. 
there are the standard risks..damage moving the plants, bug or spore attack or infestation, bird damage or grazing animal damage, being discovered...
On the upside, they will have free light, the light will have uv-properties possibly better than most artificial light, they will have continuous [most probably] consistent airflow of good clean air, they will gradually become sun-hardened and build up a uv-resistance also...and IMO they will be happy!
if you have a fireplace, warm some bricks gently in front of it and stack them around the pot and it will help keep the rootball warm when they are outside on colder days....same with when they go outside permanently...if cool weather, stacked bricks around the pots will absorb heat during the day and radiate at night.

Keep your indoor plants indoor and your outdoor plants outdoors. There's just too many things you can bring inside, you're inviting a pest and mold problem.
That and the change in light intensity/spectrum might eff with them.
