The man who unintentionally robbed the late Steve Jobs' home has been arrested and confessed to the crime.
Kariem McFarlin broke into the home on July 17th, stealing $60,000 worth of Mac computers and other items, including a letter written to Jobs.
After McFarlin plugged in the computers and connected to the Internet, the devices communicated with Apple servers in order to download updates. From there, Apple security alerted Palo Alto police who easily traced the computers.
McFarlin was arrested and then confessed to the crime. He led authorities to a storage locker in which Jobs' wallet, credit cards, and other equipment was found.
Until reading the letter, the thief claims he had no idea who's house he had robbed.
McFarlin robbed the house, which was surrounded by a construction barrier and temporarily vacant, because he was in "dire straits." The criminal also said he wants to send a letter of apology to Jobs' family.
