Say to them "I really enjoy this mug - I kind of collect them. What would I have to do to leave this building with it in hand?" They may say 'That old thing, go ahead and take it.' Or they may say, 'That is Charlie's mug - let's go find him and ask him if he still wants it.' Or the person who owns it might be attending/teaching at some other university for a semester, in which case you would have to leave it there. I sometimes bring cool things into the work environment, to brighten up the environment there, and I would be annoyed to discover that someone had lifted one of those items without asking me first.
