Abigail Dueck recently woke up to an unpleasant surprise.
The Parksville residentBԪַs partner went to take out their dog the morning of Aug. 21, only to realize DueckBԪַs car was spray-painted with a swastika symbol.
BԪַIt was quite jarring to have it happen here,BԪַ said Dueck, who is from Abbotsford originally and moved to Parksville from Nanaimo about a year ago.BԪַI am queer, so that is why it particularly bothers me.BԪַ
She suspects the vandalism is related to a progress pride flag bumper sticker, which used to sit on the vehicleBԪַs back bumper. Dueck said she removed the sticker after the incident.
Sgt. Shane Worth confirmed Oceanside RCMP received the report of mischief. No suspects have been identified.

Dueck was able to remove the spray paint with nail polish remover, although the symbol can still be faintly seen.
The car was parked in a dimly lit area without security cameras, so Dueck does not expect any suspects will be caught.
BԪַAt first it didnBԪַt really bother me,BԪַ she said. BԪַBut thinking about it now, IBԪַd be scared if they would actually cause damage to the car that canBԪַt be removed.BԪַ
