Is the iPad Activation Locked - or simply locked by a Passcode?
Be aware that resetting an iPad that is secured with a passcode will very likely trigger an Activation Lock.
Here are the Apple support pages that outline the Activation Lock - and the only mechanisms by which it can be turned off:
Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Turn off Activation Lock – Apple Support
As you will discover, unless you are the owner of the AppleID that was last used to activate the device, or unless you can secure the cooperation of the previous owner, you’ll not be able to defeat or bypass the Activation Lock. Without documentary evidence that you are the original owner (such as sales receipt showing the serial number), Apple won’t assist - and nobody here will be able to help you.
If the iPad was found, as indicated, you might be best advised to hand it in to your local authorities.
