Realized what I'd done about an hour later after crossing the Newport Bridge returning to the mainland. Called them immediately. The bartender told me he'd found it and would hold it for me. I was able to pick it up the next day, with nothing missing. Nice people. On the other hand I've been in bars where I've watched stolen goods be exchanged, being unarmed made me feel naked.
