You sell for parts, which parts are unknown, but you'll get a little something for it.
bring it to the apple store and have it replaced for $200 then sell as new
= profit
They definitely wouldn't replace in this condition for $200 would they?
They would call the cops because they will think you stole the phone.
OP please confirm you will contact the police now?

Report to police?? bahahahah! The police would laugh at u and think ur a moron. Why in the hell would u report a found broken phone to the police? It makes ZERO sense. What if I found a broken kids toy in the street? Should I report that as well?
You won't be apple to get the $200 replacement from apple because the device isn't registered to u. I would put it on eBay though because u will get something.
You should hand this in to the police... Could be involved in a crime. Help identify a killer perhaps?
Yeah I think I will post it on eBay, thanks for the input guys! If someone wants a link to the listing, pm me.
EDIT: it's a 4s, because the antennas are all on the sides, not on top.
If it has NO sim card tray slot, then its a iPhone 4 CDMA(the ATT 4 has the wifi antenna band next to the headphone jack)
Can't hate on someone trying to make a quick buck even if morally wrong.
I just found this phone, it's either Verizon or Sprint.. ( no sim tray)
What could be savable from this? Any thoughts?

Logic board looks like it might be ok. But it's CDMA so even if it works it may have a bad ESN. You have to wonder why someone would destroy a phone like that, it's obviously not destroyed by accident.
Either way, it's worth something, not a lot but something. Be careful if you do sell it on eBay. Mention you know nothing about it, if it works or it's ESN status or it might get sent right back to you. I'd imagine you could get between $40 min- $80 tops...
If you can find out if the logic board works, if it does and it has a good esn you could get $100-$150 out of the logic board alone $50-$100 if it works but has a bad esn. You could take it to a repair shop and have them put a screen on it and connect a sleep wake button and battery. It doesn't have to be installed they could just connect the tabs and see if it turns on. Also google "decode apple serial" to find a website that will check the serial to find out if it's an 8,16,32GB Verizon or 8GB Sprint.
