Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Ex-Roommate Steals Property

We have an apartment in Anaheim and it is a two bedroom and we needed a extra roomate, so my roomate found a guy from her work that seemed like a good fit. After 3 months he didnt pay a single cent in rent or bills so we evicted him. The day he left he had taken most of his stuff and had taken my XBOX with games. I have tried for over a week to contact him but he will not answer his phone or call me back. Everytime he had told my roomates he would bring it back he wouldnt. I want to take action against him but I dont know where to start. I want my XBOX back and he had no right to take it in the first place, it is theft. Any advice you can give would help alot. Thank you.

go to the police and file a theft report. then go to the court and file a small claims action for the amount of rent that he didn't pay, as well as for the cost of replacing your xbox.
