I found a textbook on my campus, just purchased, receipt still in the bag. my question is, id like to return it to the owner, is there a way i can track the person down, it says paid by check, but doesnt give much else info and there doesnt appear to be a barcode of any kind on the receipt.

should i just hand it over to lost and found?

thanks.

Back to the wherever the receipt's from. They can likely match the day & amount of purchase to a check.
