I'm dead serious, so don't hope for something funny.
I was visiting my grandma for Christmas in Hemet, CA and after saying goodbye decided to check out the local GameCrazy to see if there was anything worth picking up. It was 5pm so the sun was setting and it was getting cold as I pulled into the empty parking lot in front of the Stater Bros. that's on the same corner.
I drive past ready to head toward the Hollywood Video on the other end, and I see a little girl, toddler, latina, probably 18 months old, walking by herself wearing a pink shirt and diaper. There were no houses nearby, no cars, and I didn't see anyone, so I stopped and approached her. I asked her where her mommy was, and in return only got a periodical "Ma-mi" out of her. I grabbed a sweatshirt from my car and wrapped her in it, and then called 9-1-1. Two guys in a truck drove up and I waved them down to give the operator the address since I didn't know where the hell I was.
Five minutes later, I saw a guy running from across the street towards us. I figured he was a relative, which he was. He said he was her uncle, and I told him I called police because I had no idea where she came from.
About two minutes later, two cruisers pull in and start getting our statements. The uncle then told the officers that the girl, "Kaya" (sounds like Maya), was being watched by her grandmother and somehow walked into the backyard and through the back gate. He pointed to a house across a field the size of a Walmart. She had crossed two streets by herself, and a vast field with rocks, dirt and dead plants in the cold, darkening night (very few street lights in Hemet), miraculously without getting hit by a car. When I found her she was still walking and had some small cuts on the bottom of her feet, and I swear she was headed right for a busy intersection when I found her.
The cops then escorted the girl and her uncle back to their house, at which point I had left.
Seriously...
I cannot fathom the amount of coincidences that led to me finding her, considering I live 100 miles away, had no intention of going to Hemet until that morning, had no intention of going to GameCrazy until I found out that morning that the $3 for 10 sale, didn't think they would be open until I called up discovering they were open until 9pm, made a wrong turn that cost me a few minutes delaying me so that I found her on the exact route I took at the exact time she was there...
Being a cag led me to likely save a toddler's life. On Christmas day.
