How do i find the owner of an ipad i found?

I found an Ipad at a bus stop. I was hoping to return it to the owner. I lost my laptop once with everything on it and it sucked really really bad. How do I find the owner?

iPad (10th generation)

If you have found a device, turn it on and see if there's a message. The owner may have done this:


From: Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item - Apple Support

"What happens if you activate Mark As Lost

...You can also display a custom message with your phone number on the Lock screen, and keep track of your device's location."


Try the standard ways for finding the owner of lost items. Apple does not provide a lost and found service.
