Burglar who hits Steve Jobs’ house tracked down through iPad

SAN FRANCISCO — A thief burglarized Steve Jobs’ house in the high-tech hub of Palo Alto, California, stealing the late Apple co-founder’s wallet, more than $60,000 in jewelry and several computers, but was unaware of whose home he had broken into, authorities said.

Kariem McFarlin, 35, was tracked down by police with help from Apple investigators, who noticed an iPad stolen from the Jobs house was connected to the company’s servers on July 18, the morning after the burglary.
