As funny and comical as it sounds that appeared to have been the case. Back in August the home of Apple Founder Steve Jobs was burglarized. An iPad stolen from his home turned up in the hands of a clown.

The clown who received Steve Jobs' stolen iPad isn't laughing about what happened.

Kenneth Kahn, who professionally goes by "Kenny the Clown," was horrified when he learned not only that the iPad he'd gotten was stolen, but stolen from Jobs' home.

The 47-year-old Kahn said he got the iPad from suspected thief Kariem McFarlin in lieu of money that McFarlin, whom he described as a friend, owed him.

McFarlin, 35 was arrested and charged with residential burglary and selling stolen property. He remains in jail.

McFarlin, Kahn said, "is just a really nice guy, he was nice to everybody ... This whole thing came as a shock. Pretty much everybody knows him. We're not talking about a guy who's got a long criminal history — it's more like he went off a cliff. He's very respectful, very nice."

Kahn was flabbergasted that his pal was a thief. In fact, after McFarlin was arrested, he contacted Kahn to give him a heads up that he would soon be visited by the police.

If McFarlin is to get back on the straight and narrow he will need to enroll in a stop theft class and seek counseling so that he doesn’t resort to theft.
