If anything was saved on it, couldn't you just take the sim out, put it in your phone and make a call to someone on the list?

Nothing is saved on the iphone simcard.
You will not find any lists, just the number of the cellphone.
There is nothing wrong with having a passcode. Usually the smart thing to do is have a contact number on the background wallpaper in case the phone is lost.
Call Apple Customer Service. If the owner is a registered owner, they may have his contact information. That's what I did when I found a locked iPod touch. They ask for the serial number located on the back, and then they tell you if the have the contact information. It's your best bet.

I know, that's what they get for trying to protect their personal info🙄
They should just let everything open for anyone to view.
I had a passcode on mine, plus had preview of texts off, and my ringer was silent with no vibration. I just texted my iPhone through MobileME with 2 mins of sound (despite all sounds and vibration settings off on my iPhone), and the screen alerted the person who had it with my name, apartment, contact number, and e-mail. That is how they were able to get it returned to me after I lost my iPhone.
