Good, the idiot deserved it.
7 years ?
Seriously people serve less time for murder
wow, 7 years jail for that ? You'd have to murder someone in Belgium to get that much.
That's not even cool.... seven years is a lot of time for burglary.... but at least he was caught.
"while others had been distributed to friends, including an iPad that made its way into the hands of a local clown."
This is my new favorite line I've read in a MR news article.
Multiple burglaries. Multiple home invasions. He plea bargained for the 7 years. Could have been like 17 years max penalty.
That is a long time for stealing stuff. I wouldn't want to see that much time for a first offender, but since this guy has been doing this over and over at multiple homes, I think it is reasonable.
Presumably enormous comedy hands.
When I had a backpack stolen a couple of years ago containing a Lenovo laptop and IPad 1, there was no React squad, no security force, no nothing. As a matter of fact, the police were seemingly reluctant to even take a report!

Really?
Bernie Madoff got 150 years. Do the math.
Equal justice? I think not. If this guy had burglarized Mr. Jeve Stobs house down the street, he, his family, and the local clown would still be happily enjoying their new devices.
We also don't know whether this was his first offense or the three strikes rule. Maybe he is a habitual stealer, if so then 7 years seems fine to me..
EACT officers found McFarlin with help from Apple security, which tracked where the stolen devices were being used by matching their serial numbers with connections to Apple iTunes servers. The IP address in use matched a line in McFarlin's apartment in nearby Alameda that was also being used by an Apple device registered to a member of his family, according to a police report. [...]
Should have executed him, in fact execute all criminals, solves population, tax issues, and makes for a safer place. Simple
This really makes me sick. No burglary that hasn't put someone life at risk should grant you 7 years.
7 Years? Too much.
This murdering psyco got 23 years for smashing a girls skull in:
