A black family living in Los Angeles was horrified to find their Ford Mustang defaced with racial slurs and a swastika during the holidays.
Reginald Scott, who has lived in the San Pedro neighborhood for 20 years, told station KTLA that his sports car was allegedly vandalized between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
The unidentified hate-monger used black spray paint to scribble the words “Merry Christmas n—-r” in large letters on the right side of the red Mustang.
A swastika was painted on the car’s bumper and its tires were also slashed.
“I can’t believe this happened to me in San Pedro,” Scott said.
The victim suspects the reported racially motivated vandalism may have been retaliation for parking his Mustang in front of someone’s home.

The Scott family is now thinking of leaving San Pedro forever and has launched a GoFundMe asking for donations to help them with the move.
