I found an Iphone 5 on the floor, should I keep it?

I was walking to school this morning and I found an iphone 5 on the floor its black. I want to know if i will get in trouble for taking it and this is my first phone i prayed to jesus for 4 years to get one (I'm 14 now) and it just finally came to me. What do i do?

Added (1). I found it outside on the floor in my neighborhood. Also, i took out the sim and destroyed it

It can be tracked, so turn-it-in…

1. If you're praying to Jesus for a phone, there's something wrong with you.
2. No, you should not keep it. Imagine how you would feel if someone found a phone of yours and just took it? Take it to the lost and found.
3. What goes around comes around.

Primero es una persona insegura puede q seas timido callado que no te guste salir mucho en publico solo con amigos si es q tienes haha tu tienes un problema deverias acudir con un psicólogo claro q tieves q devolverlo a su dueño publicalo en una pagina de donde tu eres en facebbok o algo haci despues de hacerlo sientes una sensacion agradable x q sabes q haces lo correcto si en 30 dias no encuentras el dueño te lo quedas y listo

No. It is not yours. Turn it in to the building that you found it at.

Jesus only grants people Samsung and LG phones - what you've got there's a tool of the devil.

Don't take it, thats called stealing, hand it into the police, tell your parents or hand it into your school, be responsible, doubt your parents would buy you a phone knowing you found one and kept it.

Sure you can keep it, but you will never be able to use it as a cell phone on ANY carrier in the USA, Canada, Mexico or Europe (and most of South America. Why? Well because the person who lost the phone (or who it was stolen from), will have reported it lost or stolen to their cell phone provider, and it's IMEI or ESN will have been blacklisted by the cell phone carrier. What this does is it keeps you from using or selling the phone (as you would be a scammer trying to sell a non working phone, that you knew could not be activated).

So the best way to return it is to contact the carrier that shows up when you boot the phone, and take it to the closest retail store for that carrier, and they will get in touch with the owner, using their ESN IMEI database of phones on their network. Or take it to an Apple store and they will do the same thing.

Due diligence states you should try to find the owner.
if there's a lost&found, deliver it there. If the person's info is on it, contact them. Ask a person at the front desk and be sure to tell them exactly where it was found.
how would you feel if when you finally could afford one, you lost it?

If you are a decent. Honest person you should return it. Wait for it to ring, then tell the owner where to collect it from.

  • What should i do? My iPhone 6s plus drops on the floor? Today my iPhone 6s plus drops on the floor. Luckily it was inside a flip case of iPhone, my screen is safe but the upper part of the body got some scratches how to remove that? I'm scared is it possible to remove scratches on the body of an iPhone?

  • 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.
