Return it to an Apple store.
Honest question; does Apple attempt to return lost phones? If anything, I would turn it in to the local police.
This sort of function really should be built into the phone.
This would be a great marketing scheme for Apple if it really works. My guess is that one of the "geniuses" would steal it.

Apple store. Or voice dial and keep trying people like "call mom, dad, sis, or whatever" (hold home button down - if enabled, it'll let you voice dial)

...but I just tried speaking "phone home"...
How can I get into the phones contact list without knowing the passcode so that I can call one of the persons friends and return the phone. Thanks for any help.
that's why I use the "IfFoundPlus" app -- lets me put a name and number on the lock screen. It has my name and my wife's # (to call if someone finds the phone). This sort of function really should be built into the phone.
You'd think the owner would call his own iPhone! I'd keep it charged and wait a day or 2.
Apple is not very helpful with finding rightful owners to products, even with a serial.
A few years back, I found an iPod Nano. Called Apple support and asked them if there was any way we could find the owner and give it back to them, but they said no, not really.
Hopefully they've put a system in place since, but I don't know.
