If you don't have a brake I wouldn't even ride it home.
I wouldn't ride it at all if you have another way of getting home (ie...walking)...

I had a loose crank bolt once...rode it to the bike shop to tighten it up (didn't have the tool)...on the way there...the bolt came out and my crank fell off...
the only thing that really happened was that the bolt stripped, and then I eventually lost it...crank bolts are easy to come by though

in your case, you really don't wanna do any more damage to anything...if you can...walk it
