ORMOND BEACH, Fla. – Volusia County deputies are investigating a suspicious and costly vandalism after a couple found disturbing words sprayed all over their property Wednesday morning.

Authorities said the man first thought it was kids using chalk to tag the words but soon learned it was white paint and it wasn't coming off.

The victim also told deputies that he's not feuding with anyone and doesn't know who would have spray-painted his things or why.
