I -THINK- it may depend on the NPC, and perhaps also if they saw you drop it or not, maybe if you're in stealth and noone sees you drop it but they see what you dropped, it'll trigger them to fight over it, it has happened to me when I was stealthed and dropped a stolen item, but when I drop something that isn't stolen and in plain view when i'm not stealthed someone will either pick it up and give it back to me (annoying when trying to get rid of weight), ask if they can keep it or they just comment about me littering.
