-PDBM/FXT JOBS’ HOUSE
Continued from page 7
Jobs’ two-story home was undergoing construction and was unoccupied at the time of the burglary, according to the police. Jobs’ widow, Laureen Powell Jobs, had told the police that the home has been uninhabitable because of major renovations since midJune. The general contractor for the renovation discovered the burglary on the morning of July 18. While police had confirmed that two Apple computers and an iPad tablet were among the items stolen, they are still working to ascertain what other Apple products were taken during the burglary. Other items that were reported stolen included a wallet with credit cards, various iPods and remotes, a Ninja Blender, a Sodastream Soda Maker and “Monster Beats by Dr. Dre� headphones, a Tiffany platinum and aquamarine necklace valued at $33,000, another Tiffany necklace with diamonds valued at $28,500 and a pair of earrings valued at about $3,000. Investigators relied on search records, serial numbers, IP addresses and social-media sites to track down the suspect. They learned after contacting Apple that the operator of the iPad in question was trying to re-install the operating system the morning after the burglary and was connecting to Apple servers
through a wireless AT&T connection. They then used the IP address in this connection to link the equipment to two Apple iTunes accounts, one of which belonged to McFarlin. Between July 24 and 26, investigators tracked down more evidence linking the stolen computers to other IP addresses associated with McFarlin’s iTunes accounts. They received search warrants related to his customer accounts and learned from Apple’s investigators that McFarlin used the iPad to log on to his iTunes account, according to investigator Marshall Norton’s report. Investigators made further headway on July 29, when they tracked the same iPad to a Comcast IP address associated with a woman living in Alameda County. They then learned that the woman, Jacqueline Richard, was one of McFarlin’s “friends� on Facebook. Officers and REACT investigators used this evidence to get a search warrant for McFarlin’s Alameda home. They raided the house on Aug. 2 and arrested McFarlin without incident. Norton wrote in the report that while at the house, he observed an iMac on a desk in the kitchen area. The computer’s serial number was the same as on the computer that was taken during a burglary. During his interview with REACT Task Force Agent Tim Crowley, McFarlin allegedly admitted that he stole two iMacs,
three iPads, three iPods, an Apple TV, a diamond necklace and earrings and “several other items� found in his house, including a wallet with $1 inside it. According to the report, McFarlin told investigators that he threw several furniture cushions over the cyclone fence installed around the house because of renovations and dropped the stolen property on to the cushions to protect the items from breaking. McFarlin also allegedly told the investigators that he had shipped the jewelry from the Waverley home to a seller in Pennsylvania (Palo Alto officers have since identified this seller, who agreed to return the jewelry). He also said he put the stolen items into his storage locker in Alameda. He consented to have the agents search the locker. Inside, they found a wallet containing Steve Jobs’ driver’s license, credit cards and “other personal items.� McFarlin explained during the interview that he had been homeless and was living on the streets in his car, according to the report. He said he targeted the house because it appeared to be under construction and unoccupied. He allegedly told investigators that he was alone and that he did not realize whose house he was in until he was inside and he saw a letter addressed to Jobs.

home the gold.� “We’re both so proud of the way he handled himself,� the jetlagged Krikorian said, speaking for himself and his wife, who still live in the same Mountain View house where their son was raised and first became interested in water polo.
