How did a bear get to Oxnard?

I don't know SoCal at all, but it seems that every city has some sort of mountain range close by (like where you live, eeek) Is it not true for the area around Oxnard?

Oxnard is by the ocean on a big plain. There bear had quite a trek to get there.

The Santa Monica Mountains extend to about 5 miles from Oxnard. (Basically nothing but farmland in between.)
