Somebody broke into my house, took my properties, I notified the police and gave them my suspect cell phone number but they (police) said no arrest will be made because there were no evidence that my suspect did it. should I confront the guy by myself?

Not a lot to go on here. No, you should not take the law into your own hands. If the Police don't have enough probable cause to make and arrest then they just don't. They can't arrest someone just because it would make a victim feel better. Talk to the officer assigned to your case about why no arrest was made and what will happen with your case.
However, you may want to consider suing this person. Civil court has a much lower threshold of proof (preponderance of the evidence) then criminal. I don't know enough details to tell you any more then that. If you want to go the civil route then go down to your local court house and speak to someone there. Your still going to need some sort of evidence this person took your stuff.

Hi,
obviously I don't know why you suspect this particular person, but you must have your reasons.
If you are sure that some of your property is in this person's house (and make SURE you are sure!) Why not try saying that you have attacked, or even shot him? Wait outside his house and you can bet your life they'll have more police cars and armed response officers there than you can count!
Take the opportunity to identify your property and they'll pick his house apart.
Yes, you face the police's anger and they will be bound to say, 'You told us you had shot him' You have the perfect response...'You told me there was no evidence!'
Risky, but if he really does have some of your property in his home you will get the result you need.
Cheers,

BE VERY careful. What proof do you have that the owner of that phone # is the culprit.

No because that could end you up with a restraining order or worse.
