LITTLE ROCK, AR - When you mention Steve Jobs, folks admire his brilliance.

"He was an innovator. He was a very smart individual. He'll be missed," said Scott Eoff, an Apple customer.

But the burglars who broke glass and stole computers and phones, they call them downright disrespectful!

"It's not fair to the people who loved him and so disrespectful to the one who worked so hard to make this happen," said Anan Meiclejohn, an Apple customer.

The break-in played out hours after the company announced his death.  It happened just as Amy Parker and her boyfriend went to lay flowers at the store.

"I thought it was just a store worker or somebody doing the same thing that we were doing.  Th when he spotted us, he started sprinting," said Parker, who witnessed the burglary.

She said the burglar ran out with a big bag of merchandise, jumped in a car, and sped away.  It happened so fast that she couldn't get a description.

Repairs began instantly to get things back to normal. However, Parker hopes Jobs' innovation can point out the burlgars.

"He did create 'Find My Phone' so maybe they will turn that on and it will lead them straight there," said Parker.

protector20, our city officials are too busy harassing poor people with Code Enforcement, that's what they are doing. You do know it's the poor people committing all the crime don't you? ;)

LR would be a nice place to live if the criminals were not in charge. What are our city officials doing? Taxing us more.

Amen top gear. The liberals are scared to death of fox and go into spasms when the name is mentioned. Whether they like it or not Fox News is the top news on cable. CNN has been left in the dark and CNBC is barely visible.

@qwerty: You're only showing your liberal bias against Fox16 with your baseless comment. So even though other stations, both radio and television, have posted stories about this you still take the opportunity to dig at Fox 16? What's your point? Or are you just like the other mindless drones standing on Wall Street wanting a hand out?

I don't get this, so two witness saw someone running out of the front door? Did the employees not lock up the store or turn on the security system?

I will be glad when this ghetto station learns the difference between a robbery and a burglary
