"Hey man!" /point
I try not to touch other peoples stuff. If he's out of range I'll pick it up and hand it to him.

Yeah I've had a weird instances with this.
When I lived in Florida a neighbors package was delivered to my house by mistake. We get a lot of deliveries so I didn't look at the name or address and opened it, I couldn't figure out wtf I had transistors to fix some POS stereo equipment sent to my house. After looking like an A-hole and calling the company that delivered it I figured out that the numbers were switched and took it over to his house. Which led to a confrontation.
I knock politely. I hear his kid yell, "Dad it's some white guy at the door."
Great he's racist. This guy (who has introduced himself as a preacher to me previously) looks at me like I'm the police and I explain to him the mix-up. I expected him to say thank you yeah this happens, instead I could see his face light up with anger, he couldn't wait to lecture me on how illegal it was to open someone else's mail. I interrupted him midway through his talk down session letting him know we had to do an inventory for his stuff. I lied to him when I said I took photo's of the invoice and the items in case he felt the need to pursue this further.
Altra is right, don't touch their crap.

The reverse just happened to me actually. I ordered a receiver and UPS delivered it to my next door neighbor. I called up UPS and then NewEgg and got a call on Monday from the neighbor. I assumed UPS got in contact with him and he called me. Only when I got the package home did I realize my phone number was on it, and since the box was unopened I now assume he took it upon himself to get in contact with me. I think I'm going to leave him a thank you note, if nothing else, he restored a little bit of my faith in humanity.

I'd put that shit in my pocket.
I'd expect anyone else to do the same thing. But, I don't carelessly drop my friggin money on the ground like some asshole.

Most of the answers in this thread are no surprise at all.

I shout, POINT, and tell him he dropped it. I've done that a couple times.
In my city, I'm not gonna be seen in motion with someone else's wallet/clip in my hand and have someone get the wrong idea.
edit -- I just scrolled up and see Altra responded about the same way. Yeah, I'm not touching other peoples' stuff around here.

I'll pick it up and put as little effort in to returning it as possible before giving up. But I will at least attempt to return it.
Edit: I thought I should clarify. This response isn't because I'd want to keep the money. It's because I'm extremely lazy.

I almost think the inverse would be true for me.
99.999% of the time I prolly wouldn't even think twice and just return it. The greater the amount the more likely I wouldn't think twice about it... But if it's only 5 or ten bucks and I gotta run to catch up to the dude or walk across a store/street to give it back I'd prolly just say eff it and keep it or not even pick it up to begin with.
This seems right.
