SLO County home was being fumigated. That's when burglars struck
On March 28, it was reported that multiple items including several firearms, jewelry and cash were stolen from a home in the 1300 block of Sierra Drive in Arroyo Grande while the home was unoccupied and tented for fumigation, Arroyo Grande Police Officer Dave Culver told The Tribune on Friday.
According to a Facebook post by a neighbor in the Arroyo Grande Current Affairs group, 'part of a respirator' was found in the back yard, indicating the burglars had 'carefully prepared to enter the toxic environment' of the fumigated home.
Officers were able to determine through surveillance footage that a burglary occurred on March 28 in the early morning hours, Culver said.
Later, while conducting a traffic stop on on April 9, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office contacted two individuals in possession of two of the stolen firearms, Culver said.
One of the individuals, a prior felon from Oceano, was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property but could not yet be tied to the burglary, Culver said. The man was also in violation of possessing ammunition and additional drug charges, Culver said.
The Arroyo Grande Police Department learned of the arrest from the Sheriff's Office on April 10, Culver said. While the man has not yet been charged in relation to the burglary, the Police Department's investigative unit was then able to obtain a search warrant for his vehicle and phone, which they are currently examining as a part of their ongoing investigation, he said.
So far, the vehicle has been searched and the cell phone is awaiting a forensic search, Culver said.
'We are investigating to see if that individual was the person who committed the burglary in our city, or if they are somehow connected to the individuals that committed the burglary in our city,' Culver said. 'We are still investigating to determine our suspects in the burglary case. The individual that's been arrested was arrested because he was found to be in possession of stolen firearms.'
Culver noted there are still potentially additional suspects and encouraged anyone with information to come forward.
'As far as it is still an active and ongoing investigation, and as always, we would encourage anyone with any information (to) please contact the Police Department detective unit, and we will be following up on any leads that come in,' Culver said. 'We're investigating all individuals who we think might be associated with this.'
Anyone with information can contact the Arroyo Grande Police Department at 805-473-5110.

California 7-month-old still missing after mom's kidnapping story questioned
A 7-month-old baby in California is still missing after police said they found "inconsistencies" in his mother's claim that he was kidnapped. Rebecca Haro said her infant was kidnapped outside a retail store in Yucaipa, California, on Aug. 14 before 8 p.m. local time, according to a release from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (SBCSD). According to police, Haro said she was changing her son Emmanuel Haro's diaper outside her car when a man assaulted her and knocked her unconscious. When she regained consciousness, the infant was gone, she said. Investigators have not ruled out foul play. Here's what we know about the case. More news: Bodies of missing mother, infant found in California canal Investigators release update in search for missing 7-month-old In an Aug. 18 update, investigators said they have "conducted extensive searches" in both Yucaipa and Cabazon, where the boy is from. "Investigators have served several search warrants at the Haro home and utilized K9s to aid in the investigation," SBCSD said in a release. Officials also said they are reviewing surveillance video from areas of interest. Yucaipa is 10 miles east of San Bernardino. Cabazon is about 20 more miles away from Yucaipa. Anyone with information should call Sheriff's Dispatch at 909-387-3545. Police found 'inconsistencies' in mom's statements, Parents interviewed On Aug. 16, SBCSD said in a release that investigators have not ruled out foul play in Emmanuel's disappearance. Multiple people, including Rebecca and Jake Haro, the boy's father, sat for interviews with investigators.

In interviews with local TV stations, Rebecca Haro appeared with a black eye, which she said she got from the assault. Rebecca Haro told several news outlets, including KCAL and KTLA, that the family was in the area for another child's football practice. She said she went to the store to buy a mouthguard for her other child when she realized her infant's diaper needed to be changed. "I took him out of the car seat and laid him on the chair. I had his diapers right here, and someone said, 'Hola.' I couldn't even turn. I don't remember nothing," Rebecca Haro told the outlets. Mary Beus Hausen, Rebecca Haro's mother, told KCAL that the parents planned to help with search efforts but were called in for more questioning by police. "They're losing time you know," she said. "They're not gonna hurt their baby." USA TODAY was not immediately able to reach Rebecca and Jake Haro for comment as of Aug. 19. Melina Khan is a national trending reporter for USA TODAY.

People Are Anonymously Confessing The "Take To The Grave" Secrets They'll Never, Ever Tell Their Family Members
Warning: This post contains mentions of sexual abuse. Recently, BuzzFeed Community members shared the major secrets they're keeping from their family, and they range from devastating to super spicy. Here are some confessions that might leave your jaw hanging from shock: 1."My body count is close to 100. My husband thinks it's almost 20. Another secret I have is that I had a sugar daddy for a while, and he was married. No one knew." —Anonymous 2."I'm bisexual. Only my straight best friend knows. But what she doesn't know is that I am also in love with her. I know this would never, ever be a possibility for something to happen with her, but I find myself getting jealous, feeling sad when she isn't around, and constantly wondering about her." —Anonymous 3."I'm a 42-year-old married mother, and I'm head over heels in love with a 29-year-old guy that I used a hall pass on years ago. I want to leave my husband for him and really be together." —Anonymous 4."I was in school when I got pregnant with my child. Two months prior, I stopped my birth control because I began having adverse reactions. I am now convinced it was due to the stress my boyfriend had put on me, because I had not had any problems before him. Anyway, I was considering an abortion because I wasn't financially ready, and I wasn't out of school yet. My then verbally abusive boyfriend found out about what I wanted to do, and he said that he wanted to be a father and that we would be alright. I felt incredible guilt; we got together a year after my father passed, and I was still grieving and vulnerable." "Well, after the baby arrived, the abuse escalated in all forms. I got pregnant two more times after the first, and I secretly had two abortions because I became an abused single mother living in a two-parent home. Only three people close to me know, and two of them helped me pay for the procedures. I don't regret a thing." —Anonymous 5."Since I turned 18 (I'm now 21), I'd disappear at night and hook up with resort workers every time we went on family vacation. They were often closer to my parents' ages than mine." —Anonymous 6."I'm bisexual and have kissed and dated more women than men. Most of my family is very conservative and religious (they're Mormon), and I've gotten into arguments with my parents over LGBTQ+ issues many times before. My dad has even said that he won't attend a same-sex wedding. I've conceded that I will just never tell them I'm not entirely straight, and if I do end up marrying a man, they probably won't know until I post wedding photos." —M., 24, Arizona 7."My best friend, my now ex-wife, and I used to get together and have threesomes. We had a great time and tried some interesting things. We made a couple of videos but never posted anything online. I eventually destroyed the videos because we were afraid of someone accidentally finding them. Then, we all agreed that we should stop before anything else happened. It was fun while it lasted, and I still think about it from time to time." —Anonymous 8."I've been cheating on my husband with his dad for a year now. I feel so guilty, but we just can't stop." —Anonymous, 36 9."So, my husband and I have been swingers for 12 years, and I've picked up some random strangers on my own. We've spent tons of time in adult theaters, where I have anonymous sex with people. We were both raised in strong, Christian families, and my parents would DIE if they knew." —Anonymous 10."Almost 20 years ago, my first husband manipulated me into having live cams in our house 24/7 so that he could start a website for members to watch us. It lasted six months before I had the courage to leave him. He was what used to be called a 'smutmaster.' He managed the websites, and I edited the videos. He did horrible things to me on those cameras, which were completely illegal and immoral, including sexually assaulting me with a weapon. Anything the viewers wanted, he would do, no matter how depraved. I now have a restraining order against him and have changed my name. My current husband and my best friend know about this, but no one else." —Anonymous 11."My husband cheated on me with a sex worker while on a work trip when I was eight months pregnant with our first child. He confessed to me after he got concerned he'd gotten herpes, which caused me to go into labor. Our kiddo was born just over 26 hours later. He worked on himself, and we stayed together. My dad would never forgive my husband if he knew." —Anonymous 12."My family will never know this, but I'm happy my uncle died. I've been unpacking this in therapy, but I feel like he is the reason why I can't remember anything from when I was 6 to 10 years old. I always got the creeps from him, and I'm glad he's gone." —Anonymous 13."I'm single and in my mid-30s. Because of that, I'm pretty sure that most of my family members think I'm either weird or a lost cause, but I might be on the Aroace spectrum (aromantic and asexual). I still haven't found a name that suits me, but all I know is that I don't think I want romance or sex — ever. Ever since I was a teenager, neither of those things has appealed to me for a wide variety of reasons. I have nothing to gain by explaining this to my family, though. My sister and most of my cousins are either married or engaged, so it really shouldn't matter whether my relationship status changes at all." —Anonymous 14."I slept with my sister's husband. My husband was incarcerated, so when my sister's husband showed up at my door in the middle of the night, I let him in, and we had sex. He came back about a month later, expecting to have sex again. I answered the door but didn't let him in, as I was afraid someone would see his truck at my place. My sister will never find out." —Anonymous 15."I'm not good at dating. Something about emotional intimacy to me is a real turn-off, but I do crave physical affection and touch. Because of that, I go to sex parties. They're fun, and the people there are really respectful. I get my craving for physical intimacy fulfilled in a perfectly fun, no-strings-attached way. I know if I told anybody that there would be some judgment, but I definitely know that if I told my family, they'd have a freakin' cow." —A., 34, Texas "I'm a gay man and have been all my life. My family is well aware of it, but when I was 26 and living on my own, I had an affair with an older man who was married and went to our family church. He would call me weekly to come over to have sex and talk. He always left $200–300 on my nightstand, even though I told him it wasn't necessary. He would buy me extravagant gifts as well. He often worked out of town, so when he knew he was leaving, he'd make arrangements for me to go to the same town and stay with him. His wife and children never found out, and neither have my family. Twenty years later, we are still 'together,' and he has made a will to leave me something nice. Now, I am stressed about how to explain why he left me money! He tells me not to worry about it because nobody has to know except the executor and us." —Anonymous, 52 Uh, wow, that was a lot.

South Sacramento garage fire spreads into home, displacing family
A south Sacramento family has been displaced after a garage fire spread into their home early Tuesday morning. Metro Fire of Sacramento crews responded to the scene on Fairlawn Court, near Gerber and French roads, and found a well-involved garage fire. The flames were contained, but not before the fire extended into the house. One resident was taken to the hospital during the fire. The rest of the family was safe. Exactly what started the fire is under investigation. Mop-up work is expected to take some time, firefighters say.
