One wonders why two people were hanging around Rengstorff park in those hours, espeically in this frigid cold weather. Are they homeless or criminals or both?

@jermaine:
Read the article.
"One of them fled, but police were able to identify the second man as 23-year-old Nicholas Mathas of San Jose. Police arrested Mathas on charges of receiving stolen property as well as a probation violation."
Mr. Mathas was not homeless, otherwise he would have been described as "no known residence." He's from San Jose, he lives there.
Second, yes, he was a criminal. The phrase "probation violation" is a key clue here. That means he committed a crime before and part of the agreement for his recent freedom was to stay out of trouble. He did not fulfill his obligations.
