"All of a sudden we heard a loud boom or a pop and somebody yelled F-Trump," said Cheryl.

"Busted window, busted windshield," said Cheryl. "They attempted to bust the back of the Blazer and they attempted to bust the back of my car as well."
"This window is where one rock hit, and there was one rock sitting right here on the driveway. There was a rock that ended up right here. We're not sure if it was from somebody throwing it at this window here and it bouncing off," said Chris.
The letters F-D-T were also written on their mailbox. The vandalism on their property shows just how controversial this election has become. '
"It really does make me sad in this environment, you know? We are in America and we should be able to vote for whoever we want," said Cheryl. "We should be able to support whichever candidate we feel fit. And for somebody to destroy somebody else's property because of that is just beyond belief to me that somebody would do something like that."
