Check if Device Reported Stolen

¡Hola!  

I recently purchased an iPhone 11 on Mercari for $60, and found out finally after fixing it that there's an iCloud lock.  But I am also curios if there is any way to check and see if it has been reported lost or stolen through T-Mobile.  If so, I would gladly return it to the owner, or see if they did not wish for it back, could unlock it.  I know if I were to ever lose my phone, I'd pray somebody honest found it and did their efforts.  Does anybody know how I could go about that?

    check the IMEI. This is from Swappa which sells used devices.  You won't get any info from previous owners.  No carrier let alone any OEM is allowed to for privacy, legal, and security reasons.  If it is in fact iCloud Lock best to return it just for that.
