    The phone is locked with a passcode.
    fwiw: I believe it is a 4. I have a 4s and it looks older

    Normally I would just leave a locked phone where it sits, and maybe the owner will find it. But in this case, it was dropped in an alley and would likely be run over by a car soon.

    Can I take this to a store and they can override the passcode and find the owner? Is there another way?

    If it's a 4 they need an upgrade anyway. I have a 4S and it's so slow it's barely usable. Is it in a pink casing and you think it belongs to a chick or something?

    I'm sure they'd want to transfer all their content and contacts

    When I was a young boy I found a lost phone and got the brilliant idea to start calling those sex hotlines. Unfortunately, those greedy b****es wanted a credit card number. Can you believe that? From a 10 year old. Despicable.

    MacWorld says this:
    If you find a locked iPhone

    This is a much trickier situation. Since you can’t unlock the phone, you can’t poke around in the manner described above to find the owner’s contact information. But you do have options.

    The first is to hold down the Home button for a few seconds, which may—depending on the owner’s phone settings—trigger either Siri or Voice Control. In either case, when prompted by the beep, say, “Call ICE.” If the phone’s owner has an ICE contact as described above, the phone will either start calling that person right away or ask you to clarify which number to call (as in, Home, Mobile, Work, etc). If you luck out and connect with the emergency contact, you can explain the situation to that person.

    If it’s an iPhone 4S and the owner hasn’t changed the privacy settings, you can try speaking a few of Siri’s more advanced options to find people close to the owner, too: “Call my wife,” “Call my husband,” “Call my sister,” “Call my father,” and the like just might work.

    But if the phone won’t listen—or if the phone listens and still can’t help you—you’re not completely out of luck. Unfortunately, however, neither Apple nor the carrier associated with the phone will likely be able to help you find the owner, thanks to privacy restrictions on sharing the third party’s personal data.

    That leaves just one option: Wait. If you can, plug the phone in on occasion to keep it running and online. The owner may well try to call the phone, or a friend might. And if you keep the phone powered on, there’s a chance the original owner will use Find My iPhone to send a message with contact information to the phone’s screen.

    I just got a message from Monique:

    "Can I borrow one of your sexy lingerie outfits?"

    Uh Oh.

    Monique also text:

    "Amateur night at Nitro. My twerkings getting pretty on point."

    Nitro is a strip club less than two blocks from my house.

    Maybe I should go find Monique at Nitro and she can help me get the lost phone back to the owner.

    I'm sure the owner will call the phone in the next 12 hours. That is the first thing you do when you lose it.

    Already settled. I was able to ask Siri, "Call Monique" Now we have a coffee date in the morning with her and her roommate (the owner with the sexy lingerie).

    and moestavern19 told me to "smash it and do the world a favor."

    word to the wise and horny....Never take the advice of married-with-kids curmedgeons when there's the slightest possibility not doing so might ... somehow, some way,,, lead to you hooking up with a twerker trying to borrow her roommate's sexy lingerie hotfit to win $350 at the local strip club amateur night.
