At one point I was wandering around town, when I clicked the Map onto a guard by the fountain that was blocking my character. He said that he recognized the item and that it belonged to him and I got busted for stealing. Is that supposed to happen?

No. In theory, if you've stolen something from that guard's home and you show it to him, he catches you. In practice, this happens with every item, I think. This has been reported.
