The police are saying that is just a typical burglary, but to Steve Jobs fans, this crime was anything but typical. The late Steve Jobs’ home in Northern California was broken into and robbed by a man who had no idea that he was breaking into the Apple CEO’s former residence. The criminal’s name is Kariem McFarlin, and was arrested on August 2^nd in connection with the arrest. He faces charges of residential burglary and selling stolen property. He remains jailed with a bail pending at $500,000. The bail will be set at a hearing in the near future.

Authorities say that McFarlin had no idea that he had broken into Steve Jobs’ former home. He stole a few computers from the Apple billionaire’s estate as well as some personal items that are worth more than $60,000, partially because of their worth in relation to their previous owner. The police say that McFarlin was shocked to find out whose house he was in, because from the outside it looked like just another home in Palo Alti.

Jobs was known for living a modest personal life. He lived in a residential neighborhood with a seven-bedroom home. It was undergoing renovation at the time of the burglary, which is why police believe that the home was targeted. It may have been less secure because of the construction going on. The house was unoccupied at the time of the burglary. McFarlin will face 8 years in prison if he is convicted on all counts for his crime.

There are three different degrees of burglary charges that a criminal can be charged with in court. There is first degree burglary, which involves a person who entered and/or remained in or on a residential structure. The person who committed this crime must have broken into residential property with the intention to commit they or a felony inside. As well, to be convicted of first degree burglary the criminal must have broken in with a firearm or an explosive.

With second degree burglary, the person must entered or remain unlawfully in a residential structure with the intent to commit theft or felony therein. He or she will be issued this sentence if he or she did not have a firearm or explosive at the time of the crime. A third degree burglary occurs when a person entered into a nonresidential structure or a fenced commercial or residential yard with the intent to commit theft or another felony therein. As well, this sort of burglary covers any motor vehicle burglaries. These occur when the criminal uses a manipulation key or master key to get into a car and steal items within or commit another felony in the vehicle.

In a lot of cases, states will separate the charge for burglary from the theft itself. Theft is normally measured in the amount of assets taken and the value that those assets add up to. The statutes vary slightly from state to state. For example, in California, any burglary where the criminal steals over $950 worth of property is charged with grand theft. Less than $950 brings on charges for petty theft. IN some states, anything that is taken with the threat of using a firearm, or when livestock is stolen, it is automatic grand theft. Stealing a vehicle is also automatic grand theft, known as grand theft auto.
