You might also look for any clue about original owner and inform him about it. And of course wipe the data.
Just to help you in deciding I would like to share two stories of mine.
I have once found a USB stick. I checked it out and found who is its owner. He was glad that I returned it to him and paid me for it.
Another one is about external HDD I had. It died one day. But I had some data that was not in any backup. So I opened it and put the drive itself in computer. I have downloaded data and wiped disk. Then I put it back into its enclosure and returned it back. It was not simple as WD external disks have security sealed screws and some plastic locks. But after getting disk out of enclosure, then it was very easy to get data out.
