My close friend, almost best friend (although I don't trust him completely) has formed the habit of stealing my money or other items whenever he comes to my house. We've had issues before, but as guys, I'll just free him as I've not caught him red handed. But I'm pretty sure it was him.

But yesterday night, it happened again. He called me exactly when I just got home that he was on his way to my house. No problem, he came I went to take my bath. We chatted and he left almost immediately (usually he stays late). Fast-forward to this morning, I found out some money was missing. Due to today being Thursday with the environmental thing in Lagos, I brought some money home in order to help me make early payments for a client's job, but now the money is short.

I've called this fake friend of mine and called his bluff straightaway, but he is still denying it. I've told him never to come anywhere near my house or myself, but I still feel like I should teach him a lesson as I think he is taking me for a f00l. Now is it fair to arrest this guy? He is almost my best friend safe for a little skepticism and distrust from my end. But I feel I need to show him that I can't be taken for granted. Is this the right thing and would the police stress be worth it?

Police is your friend

I can even arrest my identical twin brother for a crime he committed, not to mention an ordinary friend...

If he/she is not remorseful after confronting him about the crime/issue, then please arrest him

The truth is I could arrest him, but I also do not have any experience dealing with the police. Will it be worth the hassle leaving my business ad running around with the police? And will they charge any money to execute the arrest?
