If you don't want to spend money mailing it, I once heard that you can just drop it in a USPS box or better yet bring it to a post office, but I can't confirm that either of those will get it back to the owner. But according to the State Department:

If you find another person's lost U.S. passport, please mail it in a sturdy envelope to:

U.S. Department of State
Consular Lost and Stolen Passport Unit (CLASP)
CA/PPT/S/L/LE/CP

PO Box 1227

I believe that only works with IDs that have an address on them. I once lost my license, and had it mailed back to me. A passport doesn't have an address, so don't think it works.

the 1st thing that popped in to my head

considering the passport owner probably used the backpack for a trip before returning it

Yup

I would mail it to the address and just consider the $3 in postage as a donation to our postal system.
