Long answer: The only solution to the problem, as you cannot remove the problem, is to remove yourself from the problem. Any sort of response you can give will be met with either indifference or vindictiveness. If this sort of precident, you get one for you and one for him out of your money, is set nothing is going to change it.
Chances are you will have to move a good distance. SoCal is incredibly awful to try and make it alone in, and many people I know are stuck in bad places because of it. But, it doesn't have to happen tommorow. You have time, depending on how badly you can put up with it. My advice would be to squirrel that money away somewhere secret, like a new account or something. Something they can't touch in any way. Look at your regular statement? It won't be there.
Stuff it into an account, save it for things you need. Look for people you can trust, or even better, ones you know that already have their shit together and would be willing to help you out. Having a savings is a BIG PLUS in helping people believe that you're ready to do this.
Try to get school done first. School is stupid expensive. If this isn't an option, don't ever give up on it.
Of course, current problems will be traded for other ones. There will be housemate issues, and that money that you had so freely before will be put right into bills.
But it's a lot more comfortable living condition, and if someone steals your shit the rest of the house generally holds that person accountable. You'll be an equal rather than just some jerk who has to do what someone says.
No, this is entirely sincere. I felt so much better when I removed myself from said environment. I go back there now and I have no idea how I dealt with that bullshit. I'd go so far as to say that I wasn't going to evolve as a person until I took that step to get out of that poisonous environment.
