You know, some of the best heroes will always remain anonymous and never ask for anything in return. Their reasons may be many for remaining unknown. The guy maybe be fearful of repercussions in regard to the assault (legal or otherwise), maybe was a guy who called in sick to work that day, shy, someone just passing through the area, or someone who doesn't feel he did anything special. He might even be wanted by the cops himself for something else. The important thing is that he did come and help and made his presence known when it counted, although he may not wish his presence be known or counted.

Many years ago, my cousins pawn shop was held up for the second time. The guy with the food place next door appeared behind the robbers weilding a double barrel side by side 12 ga. shotgun. After the robbers were subdued, he vanished and was later reported as an "unknown good samaritan" who stopped the robbery and disappeared. In reality, he was a guy who had done hard time, paid for his crimes, and had his life on track again, but was NOT allowed to possess a firearm. He did a good deed, but made sure his deed did not land him in jail again. Annonymity is important for some people.

I am glad your little sister is safe. If the hero wants to be found, he will come forward. Light a candle for him at Christmas.
