Lawful Good is supposed to be the classic goody two shoes. With the Valygar situation if you've been ordered to slay Valygar you'd go because it's the right, or lawful thing to do as you've been ordered to by a superior (as it were). You wouldn't kill him out of hand, except in self-defence, and would feel inclined to drag him in before the Cowled Wizards for a proper trial. If you perceived that he wasn't getting fair treatment from the Wizards, you might then have to react on his behalf.
Similarly, you don't go around looking in the boxes and crates around Athkatla I feel, as the contents could quite easily belong to somebody that doesn't have a home. That's just me personally. You don't steal off anybody at all really, but defeating bad guys does give you the opportunity to make some extra cash.
As an example ( Potential SPOILER)

you wouldn't do Xzar's quest for Montaron, or defeat the Cowled Wizard for Edwin. In fact you wouldn't really want to be associated with the Shadow Thieves at all. As far as you could help it that is but the game doesn't give you that chance.
Really though Tom-Slayer, I wouldn't worry about it. Neither BG/BG2 gives you much opportunity to keep within alignments as far as I'm concerned. As an example, you don't get rewarded for acting evil if you play an evil character as much as you get rewarded for acting as a good guy. A certain underdark dragon comes to mind... The ancient, if not redundant, alignment system was implemented but not fully utilised/realised. Then again, the reputation system is rubbish too, so go figure!
Edit: I too suffer from CRS. Five characters on the go at the moment. Plus, I've had an idea or two since, so I might go home this evening and roll them up as well!
