Pick two answers.

Give it to 'lost property'
USB keys containing trojan malware has been seeded by malicious agents in car parks (especially around spaces 'reserved for $licence_plate'), first class train coaches and airport lounges, expensive bars and restaurants in a hope to trick someone high-managerial but with low IT security skills into plugging it into a computer with sensitive data.
Do not give it to lost property, when no-one comes to collect it may be given away.
Do not try to format it, the malware may be on a secret partition, unreadable by most standards.
Give it to member of IT security telling them it is suspect, they may check it with a Linux livecd on a airgapped computer.
Do not give it to the police, they may not have the resources and time to check it .
Destroy it! better be safe than sorry.
