Remember the iPhone 4 case left in a bar? This is one of the most incredible stories surrounding Apple. The iPhone 4 was abandoned in a bar by an Apple engineer while he was celebrating his birthday. This oversight was the biggest leak of details that we remember about the iPhone. Today, we bring you an equally crazy one related to the iPad. In this case, it is not about any oversight, but about a robbery committed at Steve Jobs’ home, just one year after his death.
They broke into Steve Jobs’ house and took $60,000
In the summer of 2012 Steve Jobs’ mansion was burglarized. After his death, his wife took the opportunity to carry out some renovations. To do this, they had to leave the house alone and the workers only worked in the morning. The situation was perfect for committing a theft. The thief took:
- Various Macs
- Steve Jobs’ iPad
- Jewelry from the exclusive Tiffany brand
- Bottles of Champagne
The man who burglarized Steve Jobs’ home was Kariem McFarlin, a resident of Alameda, California. He was 35 years old at the time of the robbery and He was not a professional thief.but someone who was going through financial difficulties. Some goods were sold and, more specifically, the protagonist of this story gave them to a friend. Yes, we are talking about Steve Jobs’ own iPad. A first-generation 64GB iPad. But who was this friend of the thief? Well, it was a relatively well-known clown in the United States called “Kenny the Clown”.

As Kenny the Clown told the press and police: He didn’t know the iPad had been stolen. from Steve Jobs’ house. His friend simply offered it to him and he accepted the purchase. The clown mainly used the iPad to play music for children at his parties and birthdays where he performed. He had it in his possession for a few days until the police found it. Of course, he was surprised.
The iPad was silver and looked normal. I would never have accepted something like that from anyone, let alone from such an important figure.
As for his friend the thief, he found the key to the house by jumping over the fence of Steve Jobs’ mansion. He never knew it was actually his house, or at least that’s what he told the police.. His clown friend said he was a good guy, but he had just made the worst mistake of his life. “Before the public sees him as this horrible monster, I’d like to think that we can somehow understand that he just made the worst mistake of his life.” The thief served his sentence and also wrote a letter of apology to Steve Jobs’ wife.
