<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

My desktop was stolen two days ago. Somebody broke in the front door and took my comp, monitor, mouse, and keyboard :(. I think I know who it was, my ex-roommate who I got evicted about three weeks ago, and have already filed a police report telling them everything I know. I already had to call the police on him once before about a month and a half ago due to him threatening me, "Come out of that room and I'll put your face into the floor.", "Nothing's going to save you from an ass beating, I'll see you later.", after trying to break through my door that I had barricaded with my chair. I'm considering pressing charges on him for the verbal threats and property damage and tell him if I get the computer back then I'll drop the charges but he's a big guy with anger issues and big friends so I'm not sure if that's a wise thing to do. Any advice on tracking the computer or dealing with the roommate/legal issues?
<bot>: Ex-Roommate has most likely stolen my desktop. Should I use previous charges to extort it back out of him despite risk of physical retaliation? Can I track the computer anyway?
