How can i contact the owner of a lost iphone

hi
i went to London this week for a holiday. i live in Morocco. when i was there i found an iPhone 5s and i asked everyone around and it didn't belong to any one. so i took it and i fixed the screen cause it was broken when i came  back to Morocco the next day . and i wanted to use it, i couldn't cause the owner activated ''find my iPhone'' so i can't use it unless  the owner has removed his apple ID or did something that allow me to use it. and i don't know how to contact him or get his email. or how to bypass the activation screen if that's legal.
help pleas  !!  

You cannot bypass the lock. Only the owner can do that. The phone is completely useless to you, and anyway you had no right to take it. You should have turned it in to the police. You can hardly do that now you've gone back to Morocco so you might as well throw it away. I hope the owner is insured.

    Unless you have the owners email address you can't email them.
    If you have found a stolen iPhone and are trying to return it to its rightful owner, hand it in to the police.

  • How can i find the owner of a lost ipad mini

    how can i find the owner of a lost ipad mini I bought off ebay

    I did not replace the mother board it has the someone board in it that I bought. I do not buy locked devices and this one was only listed as water damaged with the original box.
    You are right if I did change the board it could have been locked.
    Thanks for your response have a great day

  • How can I contact the owner of a shared iTunes library I'm listening to?

    There is a shared library on iTunes that I'm listening to that belongs to one of my neighbors. I'm really, really loving their music and wanted to ask them about it. How can I contact them? I don't know who they are and I have too many neighbors to go around asking for this person.
    Thank you.

  • How can I locate the owner of a lost Ipod Touch 4g?

    A friend found a lost Ipod Touch 4th generation and gave it to me because he's given up trying to locate the owner. Now I am trying to find its owner (last ditch effort).
    I've never seen this message before, but when I got it, there is a screen saying disabled, connect to iPod. I assume that either it was remotely locked? Or perhaps my friend tried to guess passwords unsuccessfully too many times?
    I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco and the sales rep that was helping me didn't know how to do it.
    I ran three ads in craigslist in different sections - no response.
    My bf used to work for Apple, and is absolutely uninterested or too busy to help me out (nice guy, eh?).
    I don't want to restore the phone and wipe the data, since it may destroy any possible clue as to how to locate the owner beyond the first name and photo that appears when you turn it on. (I tried to see if I could get it connected to iTunes and figure something out, but the phone is disabled)
    Anybody know what I can do? Serial numbers?
    note: In case you are wondering why I am so adamant on finding the owner, I have lost 2 ipods in the past (found one), but the other is gone forever (despite all my "please return to (my contact info)" message I had in place of the passcode screen. I will go pretty far to return this to the owner, because beyond principle, I was sad when mine was never returned to me.

    I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco
    Take it to the nearest SFPD station.
    And bravo to you for making such an effort to find the owner. They may have reported it lost or stolen to the SFPD.

  • HT1937 how can i contact the previous owner if it lost/stolen in other country?

    i bought iphone 4 with no signal working, i think i can fix it because i was checked the imei is clean. but after i restore the iphone, it blocked by icloud and shows up the owner message "if u find this, i stay at Sinar Bali".
    i think the owner is not local people, because i'm in indonesia and the message with english.
    how can i contact the owner if the message just '..i stay at Sinar Bali' and there are so many hostels in bali?
    i don't know when this iphone reported lost, and i don't know if the owner still stay in bali so.
    sorry for my english.

    Unless whoever sold the phone to you has information, you cannot contact them.

  • How can I activate my iphone4 without the owners ID it was just given to me by a friend and we can't contact the owner of this....

    how can I activate my iphone4 without the owner's ID it was just given to me by a friend AND WE CAN'T CONTACT THE OWNER ANYMORE

    There is no other way. Without the correct credentials you won't be able to use it.
    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, Apple will not help unless you have the original receipt (but not from some 3rd party)

  • I have found an Ipad 3 I believe it was stolen. How can I contact the previous owner to buy it from him ?

    I have bought in a flea market an Ipad 3 Wifi only I believe it was stolen. When I bought it the battery was discharged so I couldn't verify it for being locked (stolen). After I charged it and turned it on it's locked in Icloud.
    How can I contact the previous owner to buy it from him ?
    I don't have anything. The Ipad is Icloud locked. It only shows : s********@googlemail.com
    I am willing to buy the Ipad from previous owner.
    Thank you

    I don't know what you want to hear, but no one here can help you. apple will not help you.
    What you're dealing with is the activation lock, where it's required for the person that sets up the iPad to 'release' it to be used by someone else.
    There's no hack or crack. There's no assistance anyone here can give you beyond the suggestions we already have.
    Use your imagination. Or use the ipad as a pretty new paperweight.

    You cannot open the phone, because it is locked and that's why you won't find out his number or email address.

    Try using Siri and ask "Who's phone is this?" It should give you the name, number, and email address of the owner. Also, you can try swiping to unlock, select Emergency, then see if they have a Medical ID set up. If they do, they may have the name of a contact with a phone number listed.

    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
