If someone drops something and you pick it up is it legally yours? is there like a 5 second rule?
No, not legally. But if the person doesn't know you took it, what can it do?

>No, not legally.
But if there were no way for you to identify and find the owner, and if he, say, recognizes the object five years later when you two meet accidentally? What then?

If you didn't get it through legal means (purchasing with money or barter) I think it would be illegal.

He surely didn't give it to you willingly. If he claims it you are obligated to return it. Though it's rather hard for him to prove it is actually his. It shouldn't be a problem for you unless the said object is somehow unique.

No it doesn't become yours, isn't it obvious? You have to hand it over the police lost and found.
