The Globetrotters didn't leave any of their own stuff behind. One of them (Flight Time, I think) accidentally picked up Ron and Christina's fanny pack. This was an honest mistake. Where they made an intentional mistake was in not returning the fanny pack to its original location, or at least informing Ron and Christina that they left it in the changing room. Had they let Ron know, I don't think they would have been penalized.

I am fairly certain the penalty gets applied as soon as you touch and/or move their fanny pack.

After rewatching the scene, I agree they made an honest mistake. Since there's very little evidence of what happened after awards (this wasn't mentioned until teams had jumped to the Pit Stop), I'm guessing that they didn't look inside the bag to make sure their documents were actually inside until much later.
The point is, they definitely deserved that penalty for tampering with other racers' possessions, unintentionally or intentionally. I think a team in an older race was also hit with this penalty, so there's precedent.

I agree with most of what the author, Scott Von Doviak, wrote.

They don't keep those things in the fannypack, those are kept in the backpack

I was being overly sarcastic.
