Landlord harassed by tenant?

Question

I had a tenant who moved out two months ago, the lease was up, gave him a Notice to vacate and he left, he left a couple of things for storage,(Out of his room of course) while he was able to move them to his new place, I gave him 15 Days to do so, well it has been two months and his stuff is still here  then I found out he has been sneaking into my house late night or when mi car is not parked outside, so i decide to change the locks, he arrived one night and when found the locks changed, he called the police, the cops came in and verify that in fact his things have been out of the room for two months and his room have been rented by somebody else (copy of rent stubs were shown) but still he keeps threating me saying that he will go to the sheriff's departament and sue me because according to him I "Evicted Him" I have copy of the lease, copy of the notice to vacate, stubbs from the first to the last day he payed rent, hshould i do anything else to protect myself? thanx

Beg him to take you to court and tell him that you will ask for fees equal to his rent for storing his belongings. 
Tell him that witnesses will come to court and testify against him regarding him 'visiting' the property after his lease was expired!
Bet he will leave you alone after that 

Dear Shitty ex tenant:

I am at a loss to understand why you continue to harass me with the threat of taking me to court. This letter is to inform you that I am looking forward to sharing that day (in court) with you. 
Please be advised that my fees for storing your property as well as the fees that I had to incur for changing the locks will be requested at that time. 

In addition to the aforementioned requests, I will have the court review my police reports as well as interview the witnesses who viewed you trespassing on my property well after you were to have vacated the premises. 

This is my formal request for you to refrain from any other contact with me until our court date. 

Regards,
You

Be very careful of this guy.  When someone gets this emotional they can get violent and do stupid things.  Make a report to the police again and tell them he is making threats against you.  They will probably tell you to get a restraining order.  Be very careful and be on the lookout for him.  You've told him to leave you alone.  If he doesn't, CALL THE POLICE STRAIGHT AWAY.  Do not leave anything to chance.

Place a restraining order, rekey your locks, and install a monitored alarm system.

Let him take you to court. All the sheriff will do is tell him to take you to court. You have the burden of proof, so he will lose and it will cost him the court costs.
