The OAM said, or at least strongly implied, that BOB needed a human host to
work any significant mischief.  So it's consistent that BOB could appear
to people (in a disembodied fashion) in various places outside Leland.
However, although it isn't made clear whether BOB is strictly a "one-car 
family," the implication is that he is.  He has to "pull the ripcord" to
leave Leland.  The OAM says something about him residing in someone who
lived nearby for the past 40 years (weak, but still there).  Note that 
when BOB appears outside Leland, he never actually DOES any mischief
aside from maybe scaring somebody.
