Air-Raid Siren in Psychiatry

Question

In the psychiatric ward at the hospital, an air-raid siren sounds, and the patients and medical staff gather together in a protected space.
There are all sorts of patients with all sorts of problems and relationships between them and the staff; in the protected space everyone is equal — and that’s a bit amusing (and could be dangerous).
Suddenly, a kleptomaniac patient decides to hand out to everyone the loot he has stolen so far, and in his view he is distributing gifts of his own.
Is a staff member allowed to accept some of the stolen goods from him? If the staff member doesn’t take it from him, it won’t go back to the owners outside anyway, but rather to another patient, right?

Answer

So what was all the backstory for? I’m not sure there is any prohibition here, since there is abandonment of hope by the owner and change of possession. But by taking it, he prevents the patient from returning the stolen item to its owners.
