when we were still living north of Milw a little boy about three showed up in our back yard, had no idea where he lived or anything. So finally husband and I took him in the car and started driving the neighborhood to see if we could find someone looking for him. He finally recognized his house and his mother was in the car, we got him back to her but she never said thanks or anything.
