I've been on all sides of this equation Flint. I really respect your desire to do the honorable thing, BUT if you do it in this case you have a very high probability of taking it in the shorts. Quite a few HR departments I've worked with in the past would send you packing immediately under the real or not so real idea of protecting the company from theft/sabotage/morale damaging attitudes.
Call in sick. Considering that you are apparently a very good employee they shouldn't give you too much grief over that.
