PALO ALTO, Calif. >> Police say the burglar who broke into Steve Jobs’ house made off with the Apple Inc. co-founder’s wallet with a dollar inside and his driver’s license in addition to Apple gadgets and jewelry.
The details of the July 17 theft are contained in a police report and were reported Wednesday by the San Jose Mercury News.
