Help

Okay so I asked a question earlier about buying a previous apparently stolen iPad I want to contact the owner because the iPad is too pretty to throw in the trash. I tried Apple tech support there was nothing they could do they couldn't give me their information Norwood pass along my information the police as well said there was nothing they could do except for hold it and if no one claims that after 90 days it could be mine but once again it's useless and very nice to look at any help would be appreciated

There is nothing Apple or anyone can do for you or this iPad.

This iPad is Activation locked.

This is an anti theft, data privacy protection feature.

If you can't reach this iPad’s original owner and get the owner's Apple ID and password, this is iPad is just an electronic paperweight/serving tray.

There is NO way to circumvent Activation Lock.

None.
