The mother who had been frantically looking for her wandering son was enormously grateful. The woman felt great as she walked home. But when she arrived home she realized that she had left her book on the park bench. It had her name and address written on the title page, but thank goodness no one bothered to return it to her, lest she get the wrong idea that there are circumstances under which your own possessions might not be as (or more) important than, say, the well-being of child.

Just to add a true story to this, a young girl was the victim of an attempted abduction in Canada a few days ago. A small group of people came to her rescue(only one person recognized her, the rest were strangers) and helped her out as well as preventing the scumwad from attempting to leave. One of the rescuers(the abductor was attempting to pull her into his car at the time and had his car keys in his hands) grabbed the keys from his hands and he was stuck there.
I don't want to drag this thread too far off-topic, but if the OP doesn't mind I could post a link to the news article so people can read how this girl's family can have a wonderful Christmas thanks to a few people.
