Honestly making up potential stories of what might have happened is a bit useless we don't know the whole story it could just as easily been some dirty creep was trying to attract a kid to get in his van and the kid ran off with the switch, I will leave the moral dilemma to the OP, but the actual question ignoring the is it/isn't it stolen debate is can you format a switch if you don't know the parental pin code, and I guess you can't now at least we know so even if someone forget their pin themselves that can't format the system, hopefully Nintendo implements a killswitch (badumtssshhh) for stolen switch consoles similar to icloud so the switch doesnt become a theives target as a expensive device with zero lockdown capabilities unlike mobile phones
That said I still don't have a switch yet and haven't looked too far into it's security features so maybe this already happens as long as a NNID is linked with any luck
