They blame Californians for many of their problems - including crime.

With my California plates at the time, I had my car vandalized while hiking a trail in north-central Washington in the mid 1990's. I heard gun shots by my car and I came back to find it keyed and smeared with mud, the only crime I've ever experienced in all my many travels around the US.
