The San Jose Mercury News reports that the Palo Alto home where deceased Apple co-founder Steve Jobs once lived was burglarized in a "totally random" attack last night. More than $60,000 worth of "computers and personal items" were allegedly stolen, and a suspect has been taken into custody. (via Steve Silberman)

    Cops “So, did any of this stuff have any kinda tracking doohickeys on it?”

    Jobs people “oh, uh, yeah, um, all of it I guess, lemme flick a switch”

    Cops “Oh yeah, there he is… cool”

    Even after death, the 1% get a better level of service from the police than the rest of us schmucks.

    Edit: burglarized? What’s wrong with burgled?

      No, Mr. Jobs closed on the purchase of Palo Alto before passing didn’t he?

    just for comparison, what would a totally non-random (burglarizationaleous) ‘attack’ look like?

    • DewiMorgan

       Yeah, I wasn’t sure if this article was hyping some new randomizer they’d invented in Palo Alto, or what.

      It was a close call, some quality entries, but I’m going to go ahead and award the thread to you.
