If you found an iPad

Just out of curiosity, if you were to find an iPad would you keep it or return it to the owner?
(I found an iPad today sitting by itself for two hours. I was talking to my friends and they told me to keep it but I felt too guilty too so I ended up calling them.)

I'm a good person.

I'd return it, and pity the owner.

I passed this test once. Not on an iPad, but on a Samsung Galaxy S3. I found it on the ground when I parked my car. It had been crushed. I disassembled it, cleaned it out and put it back together. It worked.

I called the owner's friend and arranged for a meet up. He seemed happy.

I'd return it or if I had time, just sit at the spot where you found it and hang onto it for a few hours until the owner came back.

I'd use it as a paper weight. ._.
I'd return it, there's tracking software and ID's that local PD's can track you know. ;p

I'd return it. I almost lost my saxophone today (got on the bus without it) and I had to have a friend run after it.
If I had lost that sax and someone found and kept it, I'd feel horrible.

Wouldn't there be a pass-code on it though? o.o
I wouldn't keep it

Yep. And you can't restore it unless you know the settings on the iPad --> username, password.

I'm evil, selfish, and downright immoral... but I'd return it because iPads suck.

Don't take it. Apple has updated the security on their products ---> iCloud.
