Ask HN: Saw a USB stick didn't pick it up

Before picking up breakfast this morning I saw a USB stick (which was opened up as if to attract more attention) on the ground in front of me as I walked. I left it there but by the time I retraced my steps someone had already picked it up.

I am curious what others would do if they found a USB stick.

Would they pick it up and dispose of it (so nobody else could be harmed) or would save it and be tempted to read or analyze it it a way that wouldn't make them susceptible to firmware exploits and so on?
