THIEVING family members. NEED help!! (reposted)

Alright guys. One of my family members is a down-right red handed lie-to-your-face type of thief. He'll take every opportunity he possibly can to enter my room when I'm not there and go through my things looking for my various stashes.
I work a regular shift and he is currently unemployed so he has ALL DAY to go through my room to try and find anything he can.
My first thought: Digital code entry Sentry Safe with an override key.

That seemed like an elegant solution for relatively little money. Sadly, he will just spend all day trying to pick the safe's secondary key. This seems to be the only option as I REFUSE to stick a key in my room's door every time I want to take a piss, while scrambling to find an option better than dealing with it while I save up enough to move out. We are all adults I'm just the only one in the house that ever had any honesty growing up... Anyway...
WHAT IF I used some RTV Gasket silicone and silicon'ed the door for the override key shut? Is it possible to just fill the actual keyhole with RTV silicone and use some gasoline or something similar as a solvent if I ever had to open it that way. I don't think that could be easily done, but we dissolve RTV using carb cleaner or gasoline at my place of employment frequently anyway. Do any of you have any experience with this? I'm pulling my hair out.

Try it. I have an even smaller ,4-'digit' gun safe I use for much the same reasons. I keep my valuables\paperwork in there and also anything I'm tentative about having out and about. Hands just shouldn't be able to reach and touch some things. Bought mine at ace hardware on sale for like 70\80 bucks. Springloaded door. And I got robbed at my old residence and this was hidden easy enough and is generally tough enough that it kept my shit free and clear. Not a bad gag. Get one. Won't have to worry bout stashes getting ran through. Btw id bust that mfer up real nice if I found out which housemate was ransacking my shit.
Cheers

how about kicking him out of your house or beating him to death with his own shoes or limbs?
that is so not appropriate. you can have anything in the world you want (you can't have everything) if you put your mind to it and put in the work and commit yourself. There is no excuse for stealing unless you're starving to death or need to feed your kids. I'd cut his fucking hands off. I couldn't live with someone I didn't trust. It would be hell for them.

^ This. Normally I don't advocate violence, but I require basic respect from my housemates. If violence is too risky, then you could call the cops on him if your living situation can handle it. Normally I'd never suggest that for family, but the dude needs to be afraid of punishment since common decency won't stop him. Obviously he needs something to keep him busy while you're at work. Jail will do that.
I'd also recommend moving out of that place ASAP. But for now just lock your door and maybe put up a cheap hidden camera. Then show the cops what happened. Keep your money in the bank for now too.

When stuff went missing from my room that is exactly what I did. Well I skipped the cop part and went straight to the beat down. I didn't even confront the little fucker with the footage i just started pounding him and tossed his shit on the lawn. Now I have a better camera that is motion activated, works in low light and is 1080p.

Get a gun safe so this doesnt happen, and then hook up a camera, videotape him stealing, beat his ass to a bloody pulp and chain him to a table and force him to watch the video over and over again instead of going to the pigs, pry his eyes open with a mechanical device and leave him in a room drugged up for a couple weeks on dirty nbomes lol, dosing him periodically.. im sure hell learn after
