Ehh, well I think the whole... calling the police thing has been covered.
A suggestion for your Xbox specificaly however, while a pain in your arse, will be even more annoying for him.
Turn on the Xbox 360's parental controls. Set them to run on every game rated above PG. Essentialy, making everything unplayable on it, unless you know the code... which only you will know.

Family matters are generally not criminal matters.
Both the police and the courts have better things to do than sort out various conflicts which might linguistically fall under a fair few penal code articles, but which parliament never really intended for the law to regulate. Only physical violence or quite significant economic crimes are generally dealt with by law enforcement when internal to a family unit.
The drug charges will stick though. But selling out your own brother isn't cool[footnote]Considering that legislation about bearing witness in criminal trial generally recognizes this as a legitimate view, by not forcing people to testify against close relatives, I think it's safe to say that such loyalty to the petty crimes of one's family is well understood - perhaps even encouraged - by the law itself.[/footnote], he needs help, not a criminal record.

Definitely the smarter way to deal with anyone within the family "borrowing" it.Bihac said:
This thread seems to be attracting a lot of Mod intervention :O
I'm gonna say find a funny way to deal with it that can't make him mad but gives you both a laugh? What's his favourite game? Replace it with Rick Roll. Find a mod of the parental control that replaces all content with Rick Roll. Warn him about the Rick Roll so he doesn't try to hit it until it works.
If he tries to get around it, THIS IS SPARTA:Force shutdown.
Parental controls, locking your door all good.
If the lock doesn't work and he gets in your room, I GUARANTEE this will work: http://www.newpcgadgets.com/products/xbox/index.html (I am in no way affiliated with this site or product just so you know)
And maybe engrave it so it's difficult to hock in case he tries to sell it. I'm not saying he WILL, but if he's taking it without your permission it's a possibility, right? If it isn't ignore this.

That's a really crappy argument. Where did they get their money? And where did the people they got their money from get their money? By that logic, everything owned by anyone belongs to a cash-printer... Silly parents, mine did that too until I brought this up XDtghm1801 said:Who gave you the money?Azaraxzealot said:
That's what my parents always used to say.
OT: Yeah, seems to me calling the police would be a really immature thing to do... unless you call the non-emergency number for ADVICE on what you can legally do without involving police.
