Many years ago in an un-named university, I found a large amount of cash in a bank envelope on a sidewalk. Being a good law abiding citizen I turned the cash in to the nearest university police office. The university police held me for over 2 hours questioning me like I had stolen the cash until the actual owner showed up looking for the money, and verified that all of the money was there and that they had walked on the sidewalk where I had found it. Turing the iPhone over to the police might seem like the right thing to do; but the consequences might be different if the idiot who lost it claims it was stolen.
