Looks like may be somebody hacked your username & password. Definitely Google will not do these things to its users (customers).

Reset the password ..... if you have used alternative email id then you will get your new password on that email

Well have you recently, or in the past, shared your username and password to anyone? If not, then someone might have gained access to your account using different techniques. If some else is using your computer at home and/or at the office, check its installed softwares because a keylogger software is the most common thing hackers or hackers-wannabe use.

I'm a 100% positive that Google did not do this to you.

Yeah. It might be hacked or maybe a kid in your house got into your computer and deleted your files. But it can be just a random possibility. :P

The best thing you should do here is to reset your password or change your secret question/answer.

Yup, better change your password.
There are lots of factors that might have contributed to this, but never Google

hhmmm.. I haven't encounter that one.. well the possible reason that i could think is someone open your account.. you might left it logged in and someone use it.. maybe try to change your password..

I think before you share your password with some one. Else Google is uses most powerful security so i dont think it can hack.
