Sometimes life gets out of control... and when people become homeless that happens a lot faster. When they have pet rats? It's exponentially faster. For future reference, try and talk people out of having pet rats. Get them a dog.

Locals were first alerted to the woman's situation outside a Del Mar convenience store, where she works. Carla was recently living in her van with two pet rats after becoming homeless, neighbor Kimberly Jackson told 10News reporter Rachel Bianco.

The two rats had babies and the situation grew out of hand. The rodents eventually totaled more than 300. The animals chewed through the wiring of the van, rendering it inoperable.
