How to set up a found verizon iphone 5/5s to my phone number?

I recently found a verizon iphone 5/5s (don't know the difference) and I want to change the iphone to my number. I have a Verizon account and I already restored the phone but I'm unsure of the next step.

You more than likely will not be able to use it because anyone with half a brain would have already reported the phone as lost/stolen and it would be useless as Verizon will blacklist it.

1. Verizon (CDMA) phones require activation from the carrier to be able to switch numbers/carriers & of course they aren't going to do that in this case.

2. Even if they did, the iCloud activation lock would prevent you from doing anything without the owner's Apple ID/password
