I found an iPhone and really want to return it to the original owner

I found an iPhone a few months ago and have tried unsuccessfully to return it to the original owner, how do I do this? Any suggestions would be helpful.

iPhone 4S, It's black

There is nothing you can do. If the device is online, then the original owner can put it into Lost Mode and send a message with Contact information. If they do not do that, then you have no way to find out who the owner is. Turn it in to the police.

Thanks very much, Gail, the only thing is I found it in Amsterdamn, asked everyone around if it was theirs and no claimed it. I then put it in my backpack to hand it in over there and forgot about it and brought it home...to Scotland. Someone somewhere must be missing it, they will have photos etc on it, it was at the Amsterdamn Dance Event back in October. I just found it again at home and thought perhaps smeone at Apple may know. Thanks again though for your response

Yeah, sorry, but there is just no way to get that information as it would be a breach of privacy. Nice of you to want to help, but unfortunately, at this point, there is just nothing more you can do. Do you know anyone in the vicinity of where you were visiting that could possibly put an ad in the papers or something?

Best of luck,
