If you've found an iPod that was locked using Find My Phone/Activation Lock, and cannot contact the previous owner, is there any way to activate it still?

I came across a 5th gen iPod touch at a bus stop, and tried but cannot activate it, as it is under the Find My Phone/ Activation Lock.
Since I do not know who the previous owner is, is it possible to get around this roadblock? Or is it just no good to try?

iPod touch, iOS 7.0.4

There's no way to get around it. Turn it into the police so they can find the rightful owner. You won't be able to use it anyway.
