That’s why they need to turn it into lost and found. If it’s in their possession now it is effectively stolen. There is no way to find the owner unless the owner posts a message on the Lock Screen. And no way to remove the lock. Take it back to the airport before there are too many questions about why it was it their possession for so long. Besides, the person who lost it may have provided their contact info to the airline or airport lost and found.

Turn it in to the Lost and Found department at the airport.


That's what your friend should have done when they found it. It's only been a couple of days since then, so with any luck, if you turn it in, the owner will check with the airport and will get their MacBook back.
