imho if you have someone living in your home you have no right to the "tenants" property.
regardless of who's house it is he stole and removed your property. i personally would of handled in a different manner other than calling the cops. as long as you are with his daughter he will be in your life. i usually choose to take the path that will make my life easier and stress free. so i would just do what it takes to not piss him off and still come to an understanding somehow.
