If a previous iPhone user hasn't claimed their lost property for months, what are my options to take new ownership?

How do I request from the previous owner if I have permission to claim their lost property from 46 weeks ago, give or take? I have an iPhone 12 and theres no homescreen passcode lock but, there is the iCloud activation lock I believe.

If there is an iCloud activation lock on the phone, it will be useless to you without that information. All you can do is recycle it at an Apple store.
