Stupid question of the day, how did they know the stick came from you ?
There are a number of issues here, which as has been pointed out, are worth talking to an attorney about, as it is, there is no probable course for termination, if you had left naked pictures of your wife laying around then yes, having pictures on stored on your property (not on a work computer right) is not grounds for termination.
Failure to return the memory stick also puts the company in a liability position where should a picture make it's way on to the web, then there are only two parties that have it, you and the company. At that point they may as well just break out the check book.
