No, there is absolutely no way you can find out who the owner is. Apple does not track devices either. You should turn them in to the place you found them if they have a lost-and-found department. Otherwise you should turn them in your local authorities.

Turn them into lost and found at DCA.
Apple will not identify the owner of a found device.
