Just looking through the wallet is a breach of friendship etiquette. Getting repaid is another task. You may never get repaid.
Once as a very young man, I left a hundred dollar bill on a table in my house. A friend was visiting. I took a shower and when we left i noticed my hundred dollar bill was gone. What did I do?

I'm guessing Paul doesn't have a lot of friends that ask him for money.

I said I wouldn't take the money out of his wallet.
I have lent money to friends on many occasions and been paid back no more than 60% of the time.

No. You gave Sam the money willingly.
So what? If I write you a bad check and you willingly give me cash does that mean I'm not a thief because you gave it to me voluntarily?
In that case, the person writing the bad check did so fraudulently. There is a reasonable expectation that the check is "valid" and there are funds to back it at the moment it's written unless there is some sort of arrangement such as "don't cash this until next Friday OK?"
Your legal recourse in such a situation is to sue them in court for the money.
Any other recourse you might take against them physically or by taking possession against his will of any of his other belongings or property is illegal.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just say, "Hey Sam, I need that 50 you owe me, I'm a broke douchebag who loaned you money when I couldn't afford to."

I accused him of taking the money. It really ended our friendship.

Your accusation isn't what ended the friendship.
Unless of course you were wrong that is.
