At 26th and Wilgus in Sheboygan, flames billowed from a neighbor's driveway.
"It looked like the whole end of the garage was on fire," Wheeler said.
"I just couldn't believe it," said a neighbor.
After firefighters put out the flames and the smoke cleared, it was a discovery on the side of the garage that left neighbors scratching their heads.
"I'm just shocked. I don't know what to say," said a neighbor.

Bright red spray paint scribbled across the light blue siding revealed two swastikas and a message to "go back to your own country."
"It's not right," said a neighbor.
Neighbors are confused and upset by the hateful graffiti.

"Who has the right to say your religion, your country, whatever is wrong," said a neighbor.

"No one needs to suffer like that," said a neighbor.
Neighbors hope investigators figure out what happened and the hate is erased.
"It truly scares me," a neighbor said.
