Feeling emotions like anger and rage is perfectly okay. It's just not dwelling in them (or acting on them), and being able to balance them energetically after you experience them that is important. "Seating them in the ray of experience" - this was an orange ray event (someone stole from you (disrespect) and you wanted to take their life), moved up to yellow (how will this affect my job?) and hopefully, you've been able to keep it at green and above (the acceptance of the event; the true desire for the man to be well).
You can move it up to blue and indigo by pondering how you had a part in creating this experience, how the catalyst has affected you and why your Higher Self decided you needed this catalyst. You're already doing the right thing - contemplating the emotion and its effects, instead of dwelling in the murder fantasies. It's easy to make the other choice.
For what it's worth, when I worked in retail, I was always told not to fight any thieves because all of the products in the store are insured, but I am not. On the flip side, almost every restaurant I have worked at would fully expect me to chase someone out of the building if they didn't pay (and if I failed, would have to pay for the stolen items myself). I'm glad you are safe (and that the thief is safe too)
Another thing to consider is the amount of value we give "things" in our society. I personally don't believe property theft is worthy of a punishment anywhere near death. But, we are definitely conditioned to think it is. I know it's the action of disrespect that probably bothered you most of all, but that $150 of merchandise was really probably closer to half that value and, not near the value of his life.
Hope some of my thoughts on the subject help neutralize your thoughts.
