Woman defaces home saying Hitler is more welcome

“These people in this community would probably treat Hitler better than they would a family. I just don't understand it,” said homeowner Sheila Jones. A red spray painted sentence splashed across her quiet beach house reads "Hitler would be a welcome neighbor here. Stop the harassment to my family."

Jones says she did it after breaking down under the stress. “It's an overrated trailer park. There's a bunch of people with not much of a life, and they've decided to take it out on me,” Jones said.

Jones says for the past four years neighbours have sent her letters, e-mails and posted things about her at the pool.The complaints are about the condition of her yard and cars parked in the road.



Jones said a letter she received in the mail, calling her family worse than "white trash" prompted her to spray the house.

However, a neighbour, who didn't want to be identified, says the issue mainly has to do with them not paying their homeowner's association dues. “I think it's offensive that it's related to Hitler. I don't think Hitler would be a welcome neighbour here. Someone who is being a good neighbour and paying their dues are welcome here,” the neighbour said.

Jones says she wants to leave, but can't afford it. She is not sure when she will remove the graffiti.
