Non-Tenant property question

[Uminigai]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon

My fiance and I are living with my father. Neither of us are paying rent, but my father seems satisfied by us keeping the house clean.

My fiance's friend left a T.V. and some video games etc. at our house. He has been repeatedly asked to remove them from the property by my father (the house's owner.)
The friend refuses to take them back, stating that he "left them in the trust of" my fiance.
The requests to remove the belongings started 3-6 months ago.

What legal right does my father have to either store the belongings, or since we have given the 'friend' a long time to come and get them, do they now belong to my father?

**A: the answer is no. Search abandoned property rights.

Would my father be able to ask for a storage fee?
The guy is starting to come into the house without permission to use the television et. al. without compensation for power and internet usage.
When the issue is brought up, he repeatedly states that he is leaving it in the care of his friend, and that we have no legal rights to remove the property from ours.

I am simply trying to understand what we can and cannot do to have him remove his belongings. He does not live here, he does not pay any money into the household, barring a few meals out with his friend (Who also pays nothing into the household.)

Would a written and signed note stating that if he does not remove his belongings in a set period (say, 90 days) that we will turn the belongings over to the police or some such?

**A: now you are finally getting somewhere.

So, a written note stating that;
1. Storage fees are to be payed by month, including a charge for power and internet usage, $10-30 a month depending on which my father decides...
2. If he refuses to pay the fees, he has 30 days to remove his property from the premises, after which time they will be stored in an out of the way place until we turn them over to the police. (I say, in their boxes in a storage room away from damp, etc.)

Is involving the police in this situation truly necessary?
