Can my father just throw my property in the trash?
I have a small problem. I (M/16) like to paint and draw, and while taking out the trash, I noticed that my "artwork," all the pictures and drawings that were ripped out of my sketchbook, are lying crumpled in the trash! I don't rip finished pictures out of my sketchbook!
My dad is the only person who always searches my room without asking and makes a mess of it, so I know he must have done it! When I brought it up, he said he rejected everything and then cheekily said to me, "Then it was Santa Claus!"
I feel very unfairly treated and would like advice on how to describe this to him and how to explain to him that he is massively invading my privacy and then committing theft and property damage. (And what can I do to get him to compensate me for all this and refrain from doing it in the future?)
Thanks in advance to everyone who helps me and gives me advice! <3

He has violated the right of property and would even be liable if there were evidence. But I don't think you're a trial in court.
I can't give you a tip because I don't know how good or how bad your relationship is. Of course, I can say that you should talk to your father, but if your relationship is bad – and his action speaks for it – this is easier said than done. Maybe you'll talk to your mother about the incident first and ask her how she sees the thing and how she's about you.
I find it regrettable that your father destroys your paintings. I think most of the parents would be happy if the child goes after such a hobby and doesn't let the brain dry out through Tiktok.
I'll push the thumbs so that you can bend that.
What does he mean to make your room a mess? I don't want to interpret too much, but you have the opportunity to have you consulted with the youth office at any time. Your father, of course, can't treat you like him. They will definitely inform your father about your request for advice (unless there is a danger in the room). Maybe this will help your father understand that he has to respect your privacy.
