I would suggest turning it in to your local authorities. More than likely if the owner is looking for it, they will contact them.

I lost my iPod touch at a local museum. My wife contacted their Lost And Found and discovered that they had found one. My wife picked it up later and brought it home. However, it turns out that it was someone else's iPod touch.
Apple is controlling access to the device through Activation Lock. On the page where one can query whether it is set on a serial number, they should add a link "I found this device" where you can provide contact info to pass to the owner. They already allow owners of lost devices to do something similar.
