RE: Does anyone know what to do with a found iPhone?

1)KEEP IT CHARGED!!!!
2) Unless specifically disabled, and assuming a recent model with SIRI, ask SIRI!
say: call home, or call mom or dad, or call wife...etc.

3) Find the IMEI or MEID and contact their carrier (you may need to call more than 1 carrier)

Every iPhone has a unique number called an IMEI (or MEID for some CDMA phones) imprinted somewhere on it. The owner's carrier can use this information to track the owner down and hopefully contact them. It's best to just visit the carrier's store where they can then take possession of the iPhone and handle it from there. If you can't, you can always call the carrier over the phone and start from there. While they can't release information about the owner, they most certainly can help you track them down.
If the iPhone is powered on, you can tell what carrier they have by looking at the carrier name in upper left hand corner of the screen. The carrier name appears immediately to the right of the signal dots.

There are several ways to find IMEI or MEID info:

Check the back of the phone. Before iPhone 6s, Apple printed the IMEI at the back, bottom portion of the device.
Type *#06# into the Phone app. The phone's IMEI will display onscreen.
Eject the SIM tray on the side of the device and flip it over. Look for the IMEI to be printed on the back of the tray.
