MIAMI (CBSMiami) Miami Gardens police are trying to figure out who vandalized a number of homes in the northern part of the county, spray painting the letters KKK on fences, walls and mail boxes.

Police say there have been seven incidents reported in the last day or so.

HomeownerHattie Burmon came home from work just to paint over the offensive signs left on her property overnight.

Its hurtful because we work so hard trying to keep our things up and people come and try and do stuff like this. I mean, this is mean and hateful for somebody to do something like that, saidBurmon.You wouldnt think of anything like this happening in 2015.

At a home at 18010 NW 43rd Court in Miami Gardens, the phrases KKK MOVE OUT AND Im Back KKK were scrawled on the walls. The man who rents the home said hes been there for five years says the neighborhood is quiet and something like this has never happened.

Is this insulting to you, asked CBS4s Marybel Rodriguez to a homeowner who wanted to remain unidentified.

In a way weve been going through this for many years and sometimes you just have to ignore this stuff, he replied.

The phrase KKK MOVE OUT was also found scrawled on a homes fence at 178th and NW 43rd Court.

The same phrase was spray painted on a home at 4365 NW 181st Terrace. The woman who lives in the home said whoever did it also tried to paint a swastika on her car. She said she requested extra police patrols because she fears for her safety.
