Yes: As long as the eggs were fully cooked, they should be fine. If you hunt eggs at Easter, they are boiled and are often left unrefrigerated for long periods of time without problems.

Safe, no worries: No worries. Probably they would be fine for several days. After all, even uncooked eggs really don't need refrigeration, even though it is usually done. Hard boiled ones probably are even more resistant to contamination.
