Follow BSOD's advice -- and make sure you USE the WPA encryption (use WEP only if you cannot use WPA with your router and your computer).
Use a strong encryption key (sometimes call a "password" but more than just a password): at least 8 characters long, longer is better; mix alpha, numeric, and special characters; use some lower-case and capital letters; don't use any obvious names or dates.

Can you not change your connectivity settings to only recognise the devices that you specify i.e. any wireless connections that you may use.

First it would be best to confront him about it. If he continues then you should contact the police.

If he is using your broadband without your permission, he is breaking the law. Call the cops. That'll stop it really fast!
