Thanks.

Without involving serious hacking, you can't.

As far as I know, there is no way to bypass the iCloud lock. At least it's not a simple process by any stretch. And I don't think we are allowed to discuss how to as that would be considered hacking or cracking. You can take it to the Apple store but they would require proof that you had purchased the iPad through legal means or that ownership was willfully transferred from the original owner to you. The other method is to have the original owner log in and remove their Apple ID or unlink the device from iCloud on their end. But since you "found" the device, that's unlikely to happen.

There's no way for you to get in.
