Q: I found an iPhone 6, Please Help!
Hi Guys,
Yesterday I found an iPhone 6, it was dead flat so i charged it and it needs activation. Obviously I cant activate without the previous owners login details.
I'm not sure what to do, I can't get any useful information off the phone since its locked and my two options are:
1) Wait a few more days to see if the owner puts it in stolen mode, apparently this means a message will popup allowing me to call them.
2) Hand it over to the police to sit in a draw for 28 days before being destroyed.
The phone was in another language when i started it so they are not a local(i live in a small town) hence taking it to the police station, it will NEVER get recovered by the assumed tourist.
What do I do? If i give it to the police, the lost device please contact will most likely never get read (or do i leave a note for them to check before they destroy it and hope they remember?) They would have to connect it to WIFI to know.. I feel like they are not going to put that much effort into a lost phone, little own even know how to do it.
Please give me advice, I feel wrong handing it to the police and also wrong for holding onto it for a bit longer for the "stolen message" (if it arrives).
NEVERMIND : Ignore this question, It only makes sense to take it to the police I will do it in the morning.
iPhone 6, iOS 9, null
