Computers and personal items worth more than $60,000 have been stolen from the Northern California home of the late Steve Jobs.
35-year-old Kariem McFarlin, of
Alameda, has been arrested and charged with residential burglary and
selling stolen property. He remains jailed with bail set at $500,000
pending an Aug. 20 court hearing.
Santa Clara County prosecutor Tom Flattery won’t say if the
items taken from the Palo Alto home on July 17 belonged to Jobs or
another family member. The house was surrounded by a temporary
construction barrier in July.
The Santa Clara county, south of the Bay Area, became known as Silicon Valley in the early 1950s after the sprouting of a myriad of semi-conductor companies.
The co-founder of Apple Inc. died last year at the age of 56.
Apple cofounder Steve Jobs finally succumbed to cancer at the age of 56 on October 5th, leaving behind a legacy that changed the computer, music, film and wireless industries. His once written-off tech company in August briefly topped ExxonMobil as the most valuable U.S. corporation. In that month he resigned as CEO. The Reed College dropout founded Apple in his garage. Jobs created the Macintosh in 1976 and was fired 9 years later after a power struggle with Chief Exec John Sculley. He returned to Apple in 1996. At the time of his death most of his wealth still came from Disney, due to Disney’s purchase of Pixar in 2006; as the largest individual shareholder, he owned about $4.47 billion of Disney stock. He ranked 39 in Forbes richest people list of 2011.
