So I would not report it to management, but I would go to your friendly IT support guys and very casually, in a low key fashion, tell them that something does not look right and could they please take a look. Technically speaking, the security training that you probably received when you were a new hire mandated such reporting to the IT. You are not mandated to report difficult coworkers to the managers, but you are mandated to report breaches of security, suspected data loss, etc. So - follow the rulebook. Go to IT.
If he actually stole the files off your computer and placed them on his WORK computer, the IT folks might be able to trace that. And then decide on the next steps based upon the outcome of that investigation.

The best reply I got ever in this topic.
I believe it is not wise to report coworker to management without really something solid in my hand, otherwise it might end up worse than before.
And I really consulted an IT engineer but for something else, because i was in doubt that he made a rule or something equivalent to even get a copy of some or all my emails, because several times his laptop notifies for a new email at the same time i receive an email but I didn't find any rule created.
Regarding the data, unfortunately we are located somewhere outside the company headquarters and not connected through the company hub and server, so it will be so difficult for them to trace something, all i did is to make sure that my laptop is always locked when i am not there.
Let us see what days will bring to me with this idiot.
Many thanks dear for your wise reply.
