used ipod locked

I purchased a used iPod from a stranger at a gas station in Whiskey Flats well over a year ago.

Its locked.

I periodically try unlocking it or resetting it, with no success.

I was wondering how to find a previous owner.

Also, it has come to mind that it could of been stolen. How do i find out?

If so, I would definitely return it.

Today is the first time I have been able to go into iTunes on a PC to try to reset and unlock it.

Still nope.

Sorry that ipod is useless.

You won't be able to find the original owner.

Recycle the ipod.
