It's a Mitzva to return a fellow Jew's lost property.
If one found an item that is below one's dignity to pick up - and even if it was one's own property one would leave it on the street - then one need not deal with it. However, it's appropriate to anyway deal with it.
Since it's a Mitzva to return a person's earthly property, then it's definitely a Mitzva to return a person's spiritual property; the Torah which is our heritage.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always
Verse: "...you shall surely return them your fellow man" (Devarim 22:1)
