How to find owner of a Nintendo Switch (kbin.social)

I have come into possession of a Nintendo Switch and I do not have the identity of the owner. Any suggestions how to track down the owner? I looked at the user accounts and they are not logged into and social media accounts, no name or other identifying details, no Nintendo Online account so I can't go online to chat with any of their saved friends. The best lead I have is a Reddit user who is using the same username as the Switch user, the Reddit user is a gamer but no Nintendo specific posts. I guess the logical next step would to be to DM the Reddit user but I deleted all my accounts and do not want to create a new account.

@34 away from my switch right now. Can you see any payment details if you go to the eshop?

Thanks, I had tried that but the eshop wants the password before it will load.

@34 I think the right thing to do would be to spin up a throwaway account and dm the reddit user. I think the good of reuniting a person with their switch far outweighs any conceivable harm of making a reddit account. Redditors make throwaways all the time so it's not a big deal.
