police picked him up yesterday he admitted to taking it but couldn't come up with the phone he is getting charged with theft 3 and is gonna be ordered to pay for the phone at full cost

Good to hear it! Get the money, buy a new phone, then move the hell out of there :p
 
Unfortunately being ordered to pay doesn't exactly mean your going to get paid (at least not right away). If your neighbor is the type of person that would steal a piece of your property while in plain sight of you and think he will get away with it then I have a feeling your neighbor isn't the type of person that will listen to the police when he is ordered to pay you money.

Most likely this...

But again the guy is a dirtball so you keep the pressure on him. OP, don't let this douche intimidate you. You have the upper hand, so make use of it.

Chances of him paying are not high, but we shall see what happens. It is possible he will be forced to pay fines that will ultimately get reimbursed to you. (Not sure about that, I watched Judge Judy Once maybe)

Seriously though. I am glad the police picked him up. I am also glad your neighbor is dumb enough to admit to stealing it.
