Mexican Jumping Bean

My roommate has been being a dick for the last few months. Started off with telling me my share of our electric bill was up $20 (x3 = $60 jump in one month). This was like march, when we stopped using the furnace and it wasn't hot enough for A/C. I knew he had been ****ing the other r/m cause he had been telling him that his share was $5-15 higher than my share a few times. So I refused to pay till he showed me the bill. He still hasn't shown me any bills, so I haven't paid utilities since then.
Fast forward to last night, I stay at my apt. for the first time in a few weeks. I'm seeing some girl who lives near my parents and had been crashing there. I get too drunk and am closer to my apt, so I go there. I leave my phone on the charger in our kitchen at like 2:30 AM. I wake up around 11, phone & charger are gone. I search everywhere, no findy. One of his friends was on the couch passed out face down when I got home, other r/m is out of town, but no one is home when I get up.
I went to the police station, filed a report with him as a suspect. Then I drive around looking for his car, found it at his job, and my phone is in the center console. So I went inside and got the manager to page him. He won't come out. I go back outside, call the officer I had talked to, and am telling him what's going on when the manager comes out. Manager hands me his cell phone, and my r/m tells me where his spare key is so I can get my phone. I tell the cop that I got my phone back but that I have to think about pressing charges or not.
Cliffs: R/M stole phone, I caught him with phone, cops are already involved.
Should I:
1) not press charges
2) move my crap out then press charges
3) ???
