Possibly Neutral Evil.You abuse your position in the watch to make yourself richer. You make a show of upholding the law, enjoying the power it grants you over others while breaking it in secret for your own ends. You evidently do not feel guilty enough to stop doing it, so its not just a case of an honest person with a a single moment of weakness.That you have set out to deprive the victims of the criminals the goods that they stole, even while accepting a watchman's pay for preventing that sort of thing puts you fairly solidly in the Evil camp. Breaking the law and the personal oath you swore as a watchman might push you towards Chaos, but I think the fact that you are actually performing your crimes within the structure of the watch and abusing the power it gives you probably means that you're still Lawful.You aren't the only criminal who acts honest when not currently breaking the law. As a corrupt official, If you've only just started doing this, you may just be transitioning to that alignment. I think it will be how you act as the watch starts investigating what is happening to these missing goods that will be the real tell of your alignment. Do you start killing the criminals, so there will be no one to claim that the goods were there? When a watchman discovers your corruption, will you confess and try to make amends, or try to bribe or kill the watchman?</blockquote>
