I was assaulted by my housemate and more than likely got him sacked from his job
That stinks. Are you really upset?
Yea he completely ruined my favorite jacket. I am pretty tense right now.
Did you call the police on him? I think that that might be the best way to ensure that you stay safe.
No, but I want to cause some serious damage. He stole from me.
Well the fact that your housemate assaulted you should warrant you calling the police. In addition to that, he stole something from you. He broke a law here and you can receive some help by calling them.
