9to5 Mac reports today that the late Steve Jobs’ Palo Alto home was broken into on July 17, with more than $60,000 worth of computers and personal items stolen. The theft was announced by Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Tom Flattery, who is part of the high-tech crimes unit, according to the Mercury News, which broke the story. On August 2, 35-year-old Kariem McFarlin was arrested in connection with the crime on one count of residential burglary and selling stolen property, and he is now in jail on $500,000 bail. If found guilty, McFarlin could be imprisoned for a maximum of seven years and eight months, according to the Mercury News. He will be going back to court on August 20 to enter a plea. 9to5 Mac notes that it is unlikely that Steve Jobs’ widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, and the rest of the family were in residence at the time of the break-in, as it was in the middle of being renovated at the time, and was also surrounded by scaffolding.
