Government Auction of activation locked iPad. Can/Will Apple help remove activation lock?

I noticed at a Government Auction an activation locked iPad. In my research I read this statement, "Apple will check to see if the iPad has been reported stolen and will check your documentation."

This was listed on - https://www.lifewire.com/remove-icloud-activation-lock-from-ipad-4586831

Can you confirm if this is true? Will Apple unlock an iPad sold at a government auction if it was reported lost or stolen?
