I found an iphone and i don't the passcode is there a way to take it off?

I had been to the mall and it has a lockcode is there a way i can take it off

Yep, first download Itunes to your computer, 2nd plug the iphone and finally reset the iphone

What would be the point in a lock that any Thieving Brain Dead Twit could just "take off"?

No, there isn't.
Now take it back before you go to jail.

No but you can get a couple hundred bucks by selling it at a phone dispenser at the mall.

Do the right thing and give it to one of the authorities at the mall. That way if the person comes asking if anyone found their iphone they can give it back to the owner. If it was your iphone you would want someone to do the right thing so you can get it back, right? I'm almost positive that answer is a yes. Remember your true character is how you act when you think no one is watching.
