Thief caught on camera! Now what?

Little things and cash have been disappearing from my house. We set up a hidden camera and caught one of our "friends" coming in while we were at work going through our cabinets in the kitchen. There is no good face shot though, but he has clearly identifiable features like his favorite hat and belt, and is clearly this "friend."

So, now that we caught him, what should we do? Call and confront him? Call the cops (will they do anything, especially without a good face shot)? Wait for a better face shot as better proof to take to him or the police? Resolve with fists (or bats)? Etc. I am open to suggestions. I am opposed to violence, but am so betrayed and upset that I am feeling very violent.

Update:

Thanks. I did mean more file a report as obviously calling the cops is not an option. They would just tell me to come to them ;)

Would they criminally prosecute or is this only a civil matter? Should I just sue then (he stole under $5,000 so this would then be small claims court, no attorney)?

    Don't "call the cops." File a report with them though, and consult with them. When you file a report, you don't necessarily have to press charges, so they might be able to advise you (let you know if you have enough evidence, or if you should wait a little longer for a better shot). This also allows you to record anything you think may have been taken before the camera was there, and sets you up better for, if you actually do press charges (and I would!), getting reparation for those items/cash. I would also consult a legal attorney, because you are potentially going to charge someone with theft, breaking and entry, ect., and they will be able to provide you with legal advice as well. NEVER resort to violence if you want to get repaid from your friend's crimes. If the police DO say that you have enough evidence, change all your locks immediately.
