That raises some questions:
- Would they realize they're in a different world?
- If so, would they appear on Jerry Springer to tell their story?
- Would there be enough of them that investigators detect a pattern?
John Doe gets an arrest record for vagrancy and claims to be a runaway
from Podunk. In Podunk, Jane Doe is missing. Very similar stories,
except that John is male and Jane is female. Nine out of ten cops shrug
and file the file. One out of ten wonders.

This would lead to a much higher 'run-away' rate and at least a few of them
would eventually manage to get back home.
Cities are full of runaway kids. Sure, they say they're from Podunk,
IA. Who's to say it's the *same* Iowa?
Some of them who make it back make it big by technology, or even just
idea, transfer...
