I found an iPhone (I think 5 or 5s) on the sidewalk a little over a week ago. Its locked so I can't access any information on it. I picked it up assuming someone would call it and I would tell them to let the owner know to call it and we could arrange to get it back to him (I think him due to the picture on the screen). No one ever called or texted. I assume the owner had already canceled service and called it in as lost.
I called apple and they said there was nothing they could do about it. So what can I do? Is there anyway to find out who owns it? If not, is there anyway for me to reset it and use it? I don't really need it but don't want to throw it away. Its seems such a waste.
