I found an iPod mini once. No contact info. On a whim I connected it to iTunes, which prompted me to log in as account "xxxxxxxx@yahoo.com". Emailed that person and they got it from me the next day. There is always a way to return a device even without the most obvious of contact methods for even the most tech illiterate (eg android and iOS lock screen messages). Leaving your device unlocked just in hopes of getting it returned seems pretty stupid to do.
