Ye olde spoiled brat...I know the pains of it well. The best way is to gather 'evidence', plot, plot, and plot some more. When the time is right, you strike. It's best to show him that he can't get away with it. Burn it into his mind. You can probably figure out a way to enter his room.
Like what someone said, pretend/act like your mom asked for him, lock your room, then rush into his room..you can either do the following : steal back what's yours, lock the door while you're in, or take back what's yours, and leave the door locked so he can't get back in.
Your next best friend is threats of sorts. Not death threats, but target things he treasures. Depending on what happens, you'll have a few things to do/say.
You'll also need to make sure to 'protect' your belongings. If there's a small flaw in the plan, try to work around it.
If things escalate further and further, think of something with the side of the law. Legal actions..IE - restraining order, getting emancipated, etc. Or go with the dark path. If he ever crosses the line ('again', depending on how lenient you are, or your terms), think about how you can screw over his life.
Information to friends (lower trust), the use of internet(pics, depending on what it is, the value and effect will grow over time), then think about figuring a way to ruin his chances at a good/decent job. He'll have a hard enough time at school. Fill them with despair, regret, and maybe they'll pick up their lives and change for the better.
...I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Oh well, whatever.
That said..my "brother" has turned me into a psychotic hate-filled person
. On the bright side, at least I have an eye for details because of everything. Improved reasoning and art abilities, ftw.

What's to learn from this?
Lock your own bedroom so as not to get more stuff stolen from your thieving brother.
Not everyone needs/feels the urgency to lock their doors. It's just that incidents of the sorts can happen so easily over something so little. Eventually, aware or not, things end up getting out of hand. That and if you consider things about siblings..not everyone can suspect their brother, sister, or parents. Of course, being naive and age is also a factor.
