I'm afriad not. Check page 14 for a very precise defintion of the word
present. You can use this definition anytime a card is required to be
present with another card (like gaurd). The story/reason that turned cards
are not present in the safehouse is to indicate that they are out "doing"
something. So when a character is turned to visit a location, he is at that
location, and not "present" in the safehouse when your character is
attacked with wanted. This ruling has been checked and verified with (a
very non-responsive currently) FASA.
