R1, catcher drops 3rd strike.
1..Is this a dead ball?
2..If runners take off when they see the ball dropped, do they return?
3..What if it was a straight steal?

A1..A third strike not caught is dead ONLY if it goes out-of-play.
A2..Only if they're stupid.
A3..Stealing has nothing to do with an uncaught third strike, and vice-versa.

Just wanted to add that an uncaught third strike is also dead if the pitch hits the batter.
