Appears Apple corporate helped locate the guy when he activated an iPad and Apple traced it back. Doh!

PS who cares how each country says "to get robbed." Get some fresh air people!

60grand is like 2 iMacs and an iPad right?

Not to condone the scum thieves but:

60K for the S Jobs family's overall wealth would be like someone taking $20 from the average person on the street.

 

[Lucky736]

Yeah, but, Lucky, if you're really lucky, then it's totally possible that he was very unlucky.

----------



you should've read the post that I was replying to. i'm saying the guy deserves his punishment, and nothing more. not defending him, but saying that he's no better or worse than your common pickpocket.

----------



so you're not a "cluuuub" type guy. that's cool, I respect that, neither am I. however, i'd like to point out that it takes less-than-optimal environments to make you pour your life into the "cluuuub" lifestyle.

I'm just pointing out if he needs money he could just not have spent it there and spent it where it needed to be spent so perhaps he didn't have to burgulararararize a house. Lol.

Scum. Parents and perp... I can't stand when things happen like this - even though it was random.

People attempting to vandalize Lynyrd Skynyrd band members' graves, the need to relocate Elvis, Johnny Cash's house burning down... Steve Jobs' house being robbed is on a whole other level.

The level of insecurity that comes on from a home invasion is unlike any other feeling. This is NOT what the Jobs' family should have to worry about. So sad. I hope whatever lost was recovered.

The thief was identified as Jonny Samsung.

Burglars commit huge crimes with clear intentions and would kill or wound anyone who gets in the way. People who commit such an act of invasion, robbing a house, should receive the death penalty and should not be allowed to sue if he breaks his ankle in the house. Remember that robber who fell through a skylight and sued the house owner because he broke his ankle? Yeah, too bad he landed on his feet and not his head.

At least no one was assaulterized, or even murderated.

Just a plain old burglarization.

Best post in this thread.

I know you're joking, but seriously... 2 low end iMacs + 1 low end iPad = $ 3,000 a very far cry from $ 60,000

 

[Lance-AR]

Really disappointing but telling that he did not have a Mac Pro in the house.

 

[terriyaki]

On top of jail time and fines, dude should be sentenced to use PCs for the rest of his life.

Seriously, though.

It was Stefan Jobes trying to find the lost secret of the most simple interface ever for a TV!

I was gonna say that seems over the top. But then I remembered I'd like to put litterers on that list. So...go for it.

 

[ixodes]

Banned from Apple products for life. Even in this thief spends his time in prison, his name will forever be blacklisted in all stores that sell Apple devices!

No way. Apple's too greedy, they'll be happy to sell to him.

 

[nutjob]

It was me!

 

[MacDav]

Huh?

Main street takes from wall street.

Since when did Steve Jobs work on Wall Street? Or have anything to do with Wall Street?

 

[Steve121178]

Shame on Kariem McFarlin (the perp). I wish I could have a long talk with his parents and ask them why their mid-30s son is just a piece of garbage.

There's plenty of rehabilitation schemes you can get involved in. Stop talking the talk and do something if that's how you feel. Or are you just overreacting because it's SJ's home?

 

[Jibbajabba]

with the suspect apparently not knowing that it was the home of Steve Jobs and his family.

Oh, thiefs with morals ...

 

[gregwyattjr]

I had no idea his home was being renovated. I wonder what their doing to it...

lol point taken. people need in general just to chill out.

 

[Ryan John]

This is most likely him. How many Kariem Mcfarlins can there be?

Extremely dangerous thing to do. Never put up somebodies details on the internet and accuse them of something unless you are 100% sure. You open yourself up to all kinds of legal action, a liable case at the least if you are incorrect.

I was reading the police report of the theft and found this "About this mac" screen from a stolen iMac from Steve's residence:

 

[DeepIn2U]

And ... $1

And ... $1.

LOVE THAT! Even in Death Steve has a sense of humor and humble.
I'll bet that was a reminder of his iCEO position of being paid only $1 a year salary. I think THAT is why he worked so damn hard almost making his recovery impossible ... because he know just how important it was to have Apple safe & secure!!

Well done Mr. Jobs well done!

 

[G33and]

You have to assume most laptops these days have sometime of security. Oh well.

 

[aardwolf]

I wonder if anyone got a picture of the iPhone 6 and 7 before he was arrested?

 

[Ryan John]

Now that the Olympics are over, what else are they supposed to do?

Yes we have nothing to do now but sip tea, have a good game of croquet on the lawn, and shout "good show old man" in respect for our neighbours fine handlebar moustache.
