I went to the shops and found an iPhone 6 on the ground?
The screen is really cracked and stuff, should I keep it or give it back to front desk?

Okay so where is it now?
At your home? Think about it, if you lost your favourite thing, would u want it to be returned or taken. That guy who dropped his phone is probably crying sadly at home. I know that feeling, I dropped my Phone last week, I saved my lunch money for 6 weeks to get that, I was feeling so bad until someone ring me up and returned the phone to me.
Even it is cracked, you should return it, it is about honesty, you will be surely joyful for the good deed you did

Reasons not to keep it...
1. It's wrong, how would you like to lose your phone that has personal information on it and constantly worry about someone hacking into it
2. It will have iCloud on it and maybe find my phone installed; either way the owner will be able to find the phone whether you have its turned on or not so you will either have a really pissed off owner at your door or the police
3. Not giving it back or handing it in is seriously bad Karma, so if you keep it or sell it (which will be hard considering it's cracked, probably locked and you obviously can't prove its yours) you will barely make £10, you going to have some seriously bad Karma so prepared for what will come
Reasons to keep it...
1. There is none, give it back or hand it in you ********

I'm not gonna be the guy who says it's not yours and what not, but here's some information about Apple's security:
Apple uses iCloud which a user can remotely lock the device and also track the device using GPS, if you decide to keep it then you're leaving yourself vulnerable to either having an angry person at your door demanding the phone back (maybe with physical violence as well) or you will have the police at your door with a warrant to search the premise for stolen property. Or they could simply iCloud Lock it and then it will be completely useless, the lock cannot be bypassed so there's no point in keeping it

You should definitely give it back. It belongs to somebody and someone is going crazy over not having it. Give it to the desk so they can try contacting the owner, and you'll be rewarded for your good deed in the long run.

You SHOULD know the answer to this question yourself. See If you can make out a phone number......usually the first one is most important. Say you found it and its here if you wish to pick it up.

Keep it. Sell it to someone. Then you'll make money and the stolen iPhone will be someone else's problem. You're welcome.

Doesnt matter if you keep it because iphones have icloud lock.

that might be someone's phone who did a crime and is being traced so he threw the phone which caused its screen to break. from my opinion leave it there as it was or to the front desk
