I found an iPhone 5s in the road. It was passcode protected, it had its servce cancelled (no service in notification bar), and Siri inaccessible so no way to contact original owner. I posted on Craigslist saying I found a lost iPhone and where, still no response from anyone.
Is it essentially a brick now? I figured it was a lost cause and did a factory restore, but it has an activation lock.
Anything worth doing with it, or is this a toss in the bin situation?

find one of those mall kiosks that pays you for a phone and dump it in there, get some cash

Did the phone happen to be in the possession of someone other than yourself at the time that you found it?

I'm not particularly concerned with using it as an actual cell phone and would be fine with keeping it as a wi-fi only development / futz around device.

If its impossible to even do something like that, then yeah I'll probably do like you recommended.

a quick glance at the apple faq suggests that they don't want people to reactivate it without owner's permission, but if you took it to an apple store they might be able to find the owner or something. IDK.
