Should you feel guilty if you've done nothing wrong? Although you could've done something right?

A Tale:

For those who need a story today, and can be bothered to read it.

So today I was walking home from a voluntary course, I help some folks out with their IT skills. So as I'm walking home, I notice these extraordinary nice girls (they're older than me), but to me they were either extra cheerful that day or drunk. I assumed they might've been the latter due to the wine bottles they had. So as I'm walking home, behind them as they slightly stagger about one of them manages to drop something. I checked it out when I passed and they were walking further away. So I took a look at this item, it was a ribbon with decorations - diamonds in fact! Trust me, they weren't your ordinary plastic decorations. It was gold encrusted, sounds a bit too much to be carrying round but it was only small. So I picked it up, I couldn't steal it, that would be plaing wrong right? But leaving it on the ground for some other scrounger would also be wrong? So I didn't exactly do the right thing either by calling them back though I didn't have to, I decided to leave it on the wall where they dropped it so if they came back they'd find it easily. If they ever came back at all. I feel guilty, maybe because I wanted to bang them and get they're attention - I'm a handsome fella ya' know ;)

So Flood, I feel a little guilty but I've done nothing wrong, although I haven't done the right thing either.

What would be your decision?
