Ok so I need help telling this friend that I can't be friends w/him anymore. Is there a good way to tell him?

I thought I could trust him w/my wallet, since I was letting him hold it for awhile. Okay. So me, him and my friends were altogether visiting my dad in the hospital. I let him hold my wallet, while I was seeing my father w/friends & while he was smoking a cigarette outside. There was a 5 min. time diff going into the building. Well after I was done visiting my father & wanted to check my wallet. $20 was gone & I really needed it too. I asked him what he did w/the $20 when I originally had $40, but now I'm down to $20 along w/another $1 in it stolen too making it $21 stolen from it.

I asked him where it was, he said he didn't know what I was talking about. He didn't yell at me, he didn't raise his voice to me. He looked me in the eye & told me he didn't take it.

My friends had smokes, he was bumming smokes off of them, they kept on telling him no. He smokes a lot. He asked me to buy them for him, I said no. Then on top of that he is selling his "zanax" to get money. He has no job. He is looking for a job. & he smokes pot. I honestly think he sole more from me earlier before this. He said everything was his fault & trying to put me on a guilt trip when he stole my money.

I don't want friends like him around me that lie, and steal money to get their ways. I don't know a good way tell him that I can't hang out w/him anymore. Can someone tell me a nice way to tell him or to never pick up his phone calls? B/c I have had friends like him before & they were just as bad as him, if not worse & I had to move on from them.

Can someone help me on what to say? B/c I don't want friends like him around me.

Update:

I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but now I know. I just don't know what or how to tell him NOT to be friends with him anymore.

    What friend are you talking about? From the sounds of his profile and some of the ones in your past, you need to distinguish what a friend is especially one you trusted to hold your wallet? Guidelines fail on all of the needed criteria for a friend described above. A fool and his/her money are parted when it comes to friends. Never let go of any valuables when dealing with lowlifes like him or anyone that fits his description. Drugs, no job, no money or hope of getting one all fit a loser category. Need I say more? Don't be the fool that he took for a easy mark of denial. "I don't know what you are talking about" Sounds like your first twenty-two plus years need to wise up to the losers on your watch. LOSERS on the forehead stamped with dark letters clearly visible. I rest my case.......

    First, I must advise you NOT to let other people hold your wallet. Put it in your purse or your pocket, but had you held it, this would not have happened. As far as your friend is concerned, I would be 100% honest with him and let him know what is troubling you. Try to get him to admit his misdeed. Maybe he can learn something from this although it sounds as though it's a pattern with him and he has many problems he is trying to smother with drugs. You would probably be better off without this type of friend, whether or not he stole from you. I hope he can straighten himself out, but in the meantime, there is no need for you to be collateral damage. Good luck!
