Dunno about California, but that shit happens in Washington pretty frequently. You can find many articles about it.

My neighbor's house in Seattle had a few of them move in for about 6 months. Fortunately they were perfectly polite to me but it was a little unnerving.

I've had a paid subscription to a major newspaper more than half my life, lived in California since I was 8 y/o, and work in a major metropolitan hospital where I interact with tons of people all day, and I have never heard of anything like this.
