Lost iPhone found by owner

I have found my lost iPhone and I am the owner. Why can't I start using it again? What a waste of a perfectly good iPhone. Apple, FIX YOUR POLICY. I want to be able to use my lost phone again without having to pay thousand dollars for a new phone.

You have given us very little details to help you. Why can’t you use it again? What “policy“ are you talking about? Have you tried to turn off lost mode? Are you getting specific errors I’m trying to turn off lost mode?
