Q: How do I contact previous owner if unknown?

Phone had been in lost and found for a few months last December when my employer was closing for good, so I took it to local cell store. They said they couldn't find owner because it hadn't been reported lost or stolen. But since it wasn't locked I could activate it and use it.  I did. Have been using it for about ten months and it is now asking for activation/to be removed from old owner's account.

 

I'll give it back if the owner wants it, I just want my contacts.

 

If I can't find the old owner, is there a way to get my stuff off? (Can I sync it with my iPad?)

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.4
