My husband was riding his bike in our neighborhood this AM and found a black, newer iPhone on street--
Undamaged--was locked--couldn't open
He brought it home
There was email notice on front that there were new messaged from NextDoor
So I assumed the owner was member

Went on Next Door Sorrento East site and posted report
Looked at the members' names
The phone showed it had been called 3 times by girl w/same last name as family w/house on the block he found the phone
Sent a private message to a female w/different first name at that house
The male doesn't have contact info

Got 1 word reply back --- iPhone????
That was the gist...
I replied and gave explanation and my and my husband's cell phones and said to call or text us
Nothing...

Am I missing something here?
The last name is NOT a common one -- only one family in our neighborhood
I plugged the phone in to keep it live in case they tried to track it
But no response since 1PM today.

Is anyone else surprised there is nothing forthcoming?
IPhones aren't cheap...

Maybe see if you can make a call on it, to a number that has been frequently called by that phone & ask them to tell the person to call you. Maybe the family do not communicate well.

phone is locked
We can't unlock it
And if you try too many times it will lock up
Just keeping it plugged in so can be tracked
I want it found and delivered to owner
Send two more PMs to the family in my neighborhood -- like belongs to daughter listed under father's name
Maybe they are traveling--
Only moved to SE in 2017--might be recent/new...

Turn it into a phone company. They will be able to determine who owns it by its ID.

Or, the nearest Apple Store. We found a watch that was locked and they contacted the owner.
