situation when it comes to real estate transactions. >> reporter: realtor james yang says this probably won't affect the crescent park neighborhood's home prices. he says the median palo alto home price is heading up already. it's a seller's market and in this case, it's true even if you're not looking to sem. >> if you are interested in a very particular piece of property that, you know, maybe isn't on the market, then, you know, going up and knocking on somebody's door and saying, you know, what do you want for your property, that's very different than a seller that has a reason to sell. >> reporter: the "mercury news" reported zuckerberg heard a developer wanted to build a mansion and market it as being near the ceo. paper says the billionaire does not have plans to build a larger pad and the families he bought them from are still living there. >> they did a good job keeping the wraps on everything. >> reporter: he says it's not uncommon for sellers to have nondisclosure agreements in high-profile sales. that was evident when this former homeowner who sold his house to zuckerberg told he is

"i think i would just ignore. it is local news doing a story on a lost dog. their entire government is shut down and about to default, and this is how the u.s. media spends its time?" air canada now says those comments do not reflect airline standards or professionalism. the airline says it's posted flyers of the missing dog at sfo. so far, the best lead on larry was a phone tip to the peninsula humane society but that didn't pan out. >> the challenge is it happened
5:09 pm
at the airport. and that's a little unusual. i think people's hearts go out a little more knowing how scared this dog might be. >> there is a $2,500 reward being offered to whoever finds larry. an eventful day for federal workers on their last day before they are furloughed. several hundred people at the frank hagel federal building in richmond had to evacuate this morning after an employee found a suspicious package. uc-berkeley's bomb squad responded to the scene but it turns out, the package only had flashlights and batteries. many workers were sent home early to begin their furlough. other bay area headlines, a mass leap by drug enforcement found marijuana plants worth $4 million. this morning the feds arrested 13 people in hayward, san leandro, and san lorenzo for cultivating them. police also discovered that the suspects were running illegal power lines into grow houses. a 30-year-old san francisco

100% more possible. join us at kp.org and thrive. more talking as both sides try to find a way to break the deadlock over the government shutdown. senate republicans left the white house today after meeting with president obama. both sides discussing possibilities to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling. republicans are still pushing for parts of obamacare to be
5:13 pm
repealed in order to re-open the government. >> it was a good exchange, but it was an inconclusive exchange. >> what the president and speaker agreed on in their phone conversation is that everybody should keep talking. >> both sides do agree that raising the debt ceiling is a must. that deadline is just five days away. and investors seem to have the same hope that political leaders have because they keep buying stocks. the stock market rallied again today. the dow and s&p 500 ended the week higher for the first time in three weeks. well, by now, you know the big casualties of the shutdown. yosemite, alcatraz, muir woods. but in some cases, figuring out what's open and what's closed takes a little detective work. at louie's restaurant a few steps away from the now famously shuttered cliff house, business is good. and just about everyone that lines up to get a table asks the same question. why are you open when they're
5:14 pm
closed ? we have a ten-year lease whereas they are just a concession. >> oh, i see. >> so they don't have a signed lease. >> reporter: lucky for you guys. >> mm-hm. this morning there was someone outside before i opened waiting for me to flip the sign. >> reporter: you're a volunteer. >> nobody told me i couldn't come and i didn't call to ask. >> reporter: what would you do if they came and said, you can't be here? >> well, then i'd say, sayonara. it's absolutely nuts. i mean, what has this got to do with the problem in washington? >> reporter: the confusion gets even thicker if you climb into the hills of the presidio. >> this national park is particularly a patchwork because we have so many different kinds of arrangements. >> reporter: so if you are not up on all the legal jargon or maybe you're just a tourist blowing through town, trying to figure out what's open and what's closed is about as tough as picking up the 7/10 split! >> today alone we have had 6 or
5:15 pm
7 people calling asking if we were open. they just wanted to know if they could come in and bowl. i said come on down. >> reporter: same for anyone looking to play small ball. >> the presidio trust which runs 80% of the presidio, everything but crissy field, is financially self-sufficient. so it doesn't require congressional appropriations. >> reporter: but it's not business as usual for everyone. these u.s. park patrol officers may be in the saddle, but they're not getting paid. >> our hearts go out to them. hopefully this thing can be resolved soon. >> one more note from the presidio now. if you have a restaurant in mind there, you really don't have to worry as long as it's not the crissy field warming hut, it's open. big online privacy changes from facebook and google including one that could have your face showing up on an advertisement. google change its terms of service so that its user names and pictures could appear in online ads. customers can opt out by making a change in their settings.

facebook eliminated a privacy feature that allowed its users to control who can view their timeline. an expert at cnet says the best thing to do is it to use your judgment on social networks and assume everything is public and searchable. >> imagine anything you put up on a social network whether it's google or facebook or twitter or pinterest or any of these that it stays up forever. that may be a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's the best practice for you to think about. >> facebook says users can still block people from viewing their profiles in a search. websites that collect and display private information are also a headache for people who value their privacy. on the consumerwatch, julie watts explains dealing with those sites can be a headache, too. >> the whole thing just reeks. >> reporter: kevin langdon is talking about my life a social media website that some claim is also a deep internet crawler where you can find personal information about other people
5:17 pm
and they can find information about you like email addresses, home addresses, work histories and social connections. >> every three days i get an email and many of them says susan had viewed your profile. >> reporter: the emails urged him to upgrade to a paid subscription. the problem is he never signed up for my life at all and when he asked to be removed from the site -- >> the lady i talked to told me that would cost $7.99. >> reporter: this privacy expert said you should never pay to get your data removed from a website because you're simply giving up more personal information. >> they are required to keep the records for the credit card company. >> reporter: but he says collecting your personal information is legal. there are two types of data available on the internet, public information like street addresses, phone numbers, arrest records, and information companies collect about you like where you shop and what you buy. >> pay attention to what's out there about you. >> reporter: why you can't get

personal information taken off the web. there are steps you can take to better control your online identity. google yourself regularly to check for personal data. and set up social media profiles. even if you never use them. >> just participating? then again somebody else might post for you. >> reporter: langdon says he threatened to sue my life and the site eventually agreed to remove his information. but there are similar complaints online and a class action lawsuit settled last year also accused my life of overbuilding credit cards, hacking user email accounts and misleading advertising. >> there's something very irksome about this whole situation. >> reporter: my life said there was a mess communication miscommunication. my life said it will remove your information from its site for free and has now done so for mr. langdon. remember, if you have a consumer problem, give us a call 888-5-helps-u. and some developing news

5:20 pm
northwest of eureka. that's in the very complicated mendocino triple zone up here which is where the san andreas fault ends, dives under some of the continental plates that are offshore and it's also partially a subduction zone. there's a reason you have the cascade range and volcanos up there and one of the reasons is because of earthquakes like this where the pacific plate dives under the continent and then results in the chain of volcanos that runs all the way up into canada. this is just one little reminder that it is very seismically active in that part of california and a 5.0 is getting up there. 70 degrees at concord right now. san francisco 54. santa rosa 68 degrees. by the way i haven't heard of any reports of damage. but 35 miles away from a magnitude five there could be a little bit. we'll check into it for you. tomorrow will be in the low 70s around the bay. mid-70s inland. a very pleasant chilly overnight. we have clear cites and because of the clear skies, temperatures will come down to the mid-40s inland. despite that, high pressure is in full command of the eastern pacific and so that means this weekend will be warming up.

5:22 pm
the same for tomorrow but you'll notice that the rest of the week, we have nothing but sunshine. temperatures warm to near 80 degrees by monday inland and then we are just going to keep it there all the way through the end of the week next week. bay highs mid-70s. we'll get into that range by monday and then by friday, cooling a little bit and along the coast not a bad beach weekend except in the mornings we'll get the usual low clouds. but all those earthquakes are a reminder. >> 5.0, down here that would have gotten everybody's attention! >> i'll say! looking forward to see what happened in eureka. >> what did you call that? >> the mendocino triple junction where the san andreas fault dives under a subduction plate and the subduction plate is what gives us mount rainier, shasta and the mountains in the pacific northwest. parents fight to save a halloween tradition. >> this is really silly to get
