I found this iPad

A “found” iPad is just that - and nothing more. It is no use to you.

Please don’t “just toss it”. Instead, please return it to an Apple Store - where it can be responsibly recycled. Alternatively, hand it in to the authorities; someone may be looking for it!

Have you stollen it?

If you are not the original owner or have the original owners log in details then the device is locked for ever

No. Not unless you can get the original owners detail or the original sales receipt.

Its a security measure to stop devices being stolen and sold on.

No, you shouldn’t toss devices as it’s a waste

Apple will recycle the device for free
