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."

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.

Sheboygan police are investigating exactly why the car was on fire and who left the offensive vandalism. Now, a shell of a car sits out in the driveway and the paint remains. The homeowner declined to speak on camera.

"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.

Sheboygan police say they are aware of potential motives but are looking into other possibilities. The investigation is ongoing.
