Yesterday’s newspaper report told a story of 35-year-old Kariem McFarlin who last month burglarized the Jobs’ family house in Palo Alto, stealing $60,000 worth of computers and personal items.
The house was under renovation and surrounded by a temporary construction barrier, leading the police to speculate the homeless man raided it by accident.
A new report sheds more light on the crime and lists the stolen items. Among them: valuable Tiffany jewelry and Steve’s wallet with his annual salary in it…
That would mean one dollar as this famously used to Jobs’ annual salary for his work as the CEO of the company he co-founded.
Stolen
• three iPads
• two iMacs
• one Apple TV
• one Sodastream soda maker
• one spare key
• Mercedes car keys
• one $30,000 Tiffany & Co. platinum and aquamarine necklace
• one $28,500 Tiffany & Co. diamond and aquamarine crochet necklace
It’s interesting how the police apprehended the suspect:

McFarlin was quickly caught after he plugged in the various hot Apple hardware, which contacted central servers to upgrade itself. A task force made of Apple security and local Palo Alto police quickly traced the hot goods back to McFarlin.
As for Steve Jobs’ wallet, it had in it a Black Titanium American Express card, an American Express corporate card, a Bank of America Visa card, California Driver’s License and a letter.

The symbolic $1 per annum paycheck was instituted shortly after Jobs had returned to Apple’s helm in 1996 as a way of demonstrating Jobs’ belief in future potential of the then struggling company.
Of course, Jobs also held Apple shares worth $2.1 billion as of last October and Disney shares he had received in exchange for Disney’s acquisition of Pixar, worth over $4.4 billion as of October 2009.
