I've heard that you should put it down on a makom patur while still walking. However, a true makom patur is tall and skinny, like a post, and therefore possibly difficult to find.
I've also heard that you walk into a reshus hayachid - private property - and, again, while still walking, hand it to another person who is also inside the same reshus hayachid. The rationale here is that "carrying" requires both an akira (uprooting) and hanacha (setting). In this case, then, since you're still walking it's not considered a true hanacha.
Are either of these correct? If not, what should be done?
Answer
CYLOR
If you can find a Makom Patur (a fire hydrant), do so.
If not, then if you didn't stop in a rshus harabim, go back to a rshus hayachid (private property) so that there will be no uprooting with setting down.
The main thing to remember is DO NOT STOP if you find yourself carrying. IF you did, leave it where you are (You just did a hanacha by setting it down; don't now do an akira, uprooting it by carrying it furrther).
