Sep 7, 2016 11:56 PMby anubisosiris,I find it funny how ppl jump to stolen device as well, as if ppl don't loose things. Be quick to say ppl should be more responsible then. I found a iphone 6, believe it or not, in a construction area, in a good hard case. I believe a construction worker lost it. It has the icloud lock on it. So now I'm pretty much gonna have to throw a new looking iphone 6s plus away. Apple did a stupid thing with this lock, they wasted money because now they will find their phone torn up for parts or in the trash. Smart move apple. Smart move.

What you should do (and in some countries are required to do by law) is to take it to the police. You don't have any right to keep a found object (or destroy it). As you can't locate the owner there's nothing else you can do - the police may or may not be able to assist the owner but it becomes their problem and not yours.

My phone isn't stolen it somehow reset itself and now I can't unlock it
If it is Activation Locked it will show a partial Apple ID. If this is yours you can use it to unlock the phone. If it isn't yours, only the person whose ID it is can unlock it - this situation arises when a phone is bought second-hand (used) and the previous owner has failed to unlock it. Only he can unlock it - there is no way at all round that and Apple cannot unlock it for you. Without his being able to do this the phone is permanently useless.
