Found it on the road while running. I would like to return it to its owner, but it's locked with a passcode. I'm pretty sure the owner reported it stolen cuz it has no service. Other than returning it to an AT&T or Apple store, is there anyway to id who it's for? And no, I don't want to restore it and use it for myself. I plugged it into iTunes and won't give me any info unless I unlock it. It's on iOS 7

Was hoping it prompt for a password on an iTunes account that has an email or something.

Just return it to an apple store if you want to find it's owner.

Would they notify the owner? If so, I'll do that.

Take it to ATT. they can look up the owner from the IMEI on the back. If you dont trust them to give it back, give them your contact info and tell them to have the owner reach out to you.

Thanks joe.

I'll do that then. I have a friend, Bryan, that works at the corporate store in town center. This phone has the greatest music playlist of all time. Hoping the guy who owns it will hook me up with the music on it for finding it.

Even if he doesn't, just do the right thing. You don't need some compensation for being a decent person.

It's locked but the control center in iOS 7 allows you to access calculator, camera, and music while it's locked.

And no, I don't have the password.

I know and I am trying. Just saying I was guilty of wanting the music off it if he offered. Just being honest.

My phone was found in the restroom once and the fella that found it asked Siri

Whose phone is this

and it gave him my name and that was how he was able to find me. I can't believe that worked.
