Dear Ms. Bittick:
You need to go to the courthouse and finish the paperwork necessary to establish title in your name before nine months have passed.
Your father is a thief like any other. How you choose to deal with a family thief is up to you but it is rarely by litigation unless something of high intrinsic worth is stolen or unless you are interested in paying large attorneys' fees to make a point.
Unless you intend to report him to the District Attorney (who may say this is a family matter with which he will not intervene), I recommend you change the locks and get an alarm system.
Good luck.
