Thank you for your willingness to try to find the owner of a lost iPad. Sadly, there really is no way unless the owner put some way to contact them on the iPad Lock Screen. Apple doesn't get involved in Lost or Stolen iPads, so there is no missing iPad directory.


The right thing to do is turn it over to the local police in your community and hope they filed a stolen report with them.


Again, good on you for trying to help an owner with their iPad.
