You guy's might think I am a bit radical. And I am not "kidding". I would thump his ***.Why would you be afraid of him burning the cabin. If he is stealing from you then he is doing what he wants to do anyway. As I said earlier there is only one way to stop a bully.

Just stomp his *** the proper way. And make sure no one sees you do it. Or only your friends see you do it. Just make sure he is the one that stole your stuff.

We had a fish camp down in rural WV for all of our lives. there were 3 red necks that were tearing up our camp whenever they felt like it. My partner was worried if I did something about it that they would burn down the camp. When I was finished with them, I believe burning anything was far from their minds. But I will admit this. When I was 21 years old I was 6'5' and weighed 275 pounds-and I was not afraid of much back then. I am 50 now and would probably need some help. But I sure would do it. Tom.
