While your intentions are good your options are limited. The only chance you would have is if the person suddenly realizes that their phone is lost and they provide contact information to appear on the Lock Screen.


Apple will not accept it and I doubt the cell provider would do anything with it either. Other users have resorted to turning it over to the police in case the owner files a theft report.
