Unless somebody happens by that has made such a request (and their answer may be exclusive to their particular case) then what we know is at:

Note that Apple may be very particular about their proof of purchase. It appears to typically require the original bill of sale from Apple itself, or an Apple-authorized retailer. A third party reseller will likely be unacceptable.

Keep in mind that Activation Lock is an engineered, intentional theft-deterrent mechanism.
Anyone who claims that they are a legitimate owner who somehow “Activation-Locked” themselves out of their own device is understandably met with some skepticism.
Apple rightly requires quite compelling evidence of legitimate ownership — which must presumably be consistent with their own internal records — so as to avoid “handing over” a stolen device to a thief; and thereby becoming themselves complicit in the criminal activity.
