I work in Southern California (San Diego) and right next to my desk is a giant patio. My co-worker went on the patio, brought in the giant crank-umbrella used for the table, and started to gently slide my personal effects around on my desk.

He also very gently brushed by my ear which induced an itch.

What should I do?

Be polite and professional but ask this said "co-worker" to please put the patio umbrella back outside as it is "annoying" you and has no place in the office. If this does not work, then report him to an office manager.
I hate to admit it, but this is one of the "worst" and "most obtrusive" cases of office equipment abuse I've ever heard of!!!

You can go to a number of stores, like Target,

we have an umbrella very similar to this one.

but since we do not use our wrought iron patio table and chairs alot what can we put in place of that? i was thinking to keep the umbrella and get like a glider chair, etc...? if we have guests we need some type of table stil, but overall i was looking at getting something which is more comfortable for us when we want to use it. we live in WI so our summers are very short.

I used a big palm with the leaves spread out with tiny white lights on them. You can use large square pots and use spanish moss or colored rocks to cover the dirt (spanish moss will help with keeping moisture trapped in). Or, buy several different heights of palms with different colored pots to match/compliment the patio/house colors and do the same. If you don't want to have to worry about live plants, you can go to Lowes or Home Depot and get fake ones with lights already on them (they come in a box with three of them in there). Then put in your glider, or better yet a couple of white rocking chairs so you can rock at your speed and not your partners. You can always bring the plants in during the winter, and the same with the rockers.
