I thought we were talking FED and just don't see how we cannot just kill it, by rule, when action is relaxed.
Let me ask you this. If your catcher blocks one in the dirt keeping the ball in front of him, he removes his helmet while looking at the runner/s who are not moving, slides the ball toward him or picks it up using his helmet/mask, you are going to award bases?

Personally, I'm going to call time at this point and check the ball -- before the catcher does what you describe here.
If I have to award bases on detached player equipment, I will, but if I can avoid it (like in this situation), you're damned right I will.
