found someone's US passsport in airport remote parking lot & I dropped it in mailbox?

I found someone's US passport on the ground in an airport remote parking lot. The passport looked like it had been on the ground for several days(covered in dust and dirt). The woman did not write her address or phone number. There was just a couple of stamps inside(Germany and UK?)

I had just gotten off a 15-hour nonstop flight and I was too tired to drive back into the airport to hand it in, so I took it with me.

Several blocks before my house, I pulled into the post office's parking lot and opened my car window and dropped the passport inside the mailbox. I thought the post office would just figure out how to get it back to the person or something?(at least that what I always believed)

Did I do the right thing?
