Be careful
My first thoughts would be to cut the cord to make a point. But, as a cooler head should prevail I would just unplug it and wait for him to return as you did.
My reason being is that you never know who or what kind of person you are dealing with. The last thing you want to do is create a problem that could escalate like the Hatfields and McCoys. I lot more damage could be done to you and your residence than just some lost electricity. Some people can do crazy things like killing shrubs, grass, oil stains on driveways, holes in screens etc. You can call the police and get a report but until you put up surveillance cameras or get concrete proof you become the loser. Do not be a loser to a loser. You did the right thing and I doubt it will happen again.
