My emotions that people shouldn't steal are a problem?! People shouldn't steal so how is it not a problem?

I didn't say your response is not normal. It is perfectly normal, but it's not helping you.
I didn't say people stealing is a good thing. It's a bad thing, but are you in a position to make sure it never happens ? If not, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. You are hinging your happiness on things you have no control over - i.e., the actions of other people.
It's like you're giving others a remote control with buttons, each of which has a button labeled with the name of an emotion. "Anger" "Jealousy" "Sadness" "Disappointment", etc. And, anytime someone does something bad, they are able to hurt you with their actions.
That's what I mean. I'm not invalidating your feelings. There are no invalid feelings.
