I found an iphone 4s can i keep it?

I found the phone a couple months ago and could not get in touch with the owner. The Iphone is also locked. Can I keep it for my own use? I want to keep it but without service and use it as an ipod touch. What can I do?

Please don't tell what is ethical and that I should continue to try to find the owner. I have tried but could not contact the owner!

Keep trying to find whoever owns the device, if not found, keep that ***

Just do what ever you want to do. Think for your self. If you never used an ios device then you should keep it with you. I think the owner is a rich careless guy or else he should have taken his phone by now.

The ethical thing to do is to find the owner but if it's locked, you can't search for the owner.

If you haven't received a call by now, you can probably keep it. But what's the point since it's locked.

At this point yes, I would just keep it. A few months is plenty of time. You could also trade it in and upgrade.

  • Just found an Iphone 4s, should i keep it or sell it? - 1 I was cleaning my truck and found it. I let it charge for a bit turned it on and found out it belongs to a relative. I'm leaning towards returning it to them but the calls/messages are over a month old so they may a have a new one by now. But the little devil on my shoulder is also telling me to keep it instead. It's way better than my current phone(pre paid). Lol if it didn't belong to someone i know i would keep without a doubt. But yeah.
  • I found an iPhone 4s, can I keep it? The poor thing was totally trashed. The screen completely cracked and the SIM card had sharpie all over it. I found this while on a trip in Miami, now that I'm back in Cali, I want to know if it's safe to use? I replaced the screen and changed the SIM. It was orginally registered with AT&T but they already cut the service.
  • I found an iPhone 4s and it has a passcode but I want to keep it, how do I reset it? I don't know what the passcode is but i have an iphone but its cracked and the one i found isn't. It has a passcode on it and i don't know what it is. I was wondering if there's a way i can reset it so i can use it.
