Why wouldn't you just return it since it isn't yours?

It can't be tracked without a police order, however it can be locked from all carriers using the serial (IMEI) number attached to it.

Once the error is discovered the correct owner will likely report it lost and have it locked down, preventing you from using it.

Should they report it stolen, the police may track it for them, and lead it to you.

Your best bet is to return it, as it will prove useless for you in time, and may be more hassle than it's worth.
