A couple who moved to Portland in the spring woke today to an unpleasant surprise.

Preston Page and his fiancee, Jessica Faraday, found their house and car vandalized and covered with graffiti along with their car being keyed at their Rose City Park, Oregon home.

In gold paint, messages on the home and car included 'CALI - surfs up' and 'get California out of Portland.'

Gentrification of Portland has occurred at an increasing rate as more out-of-state movers have caused increased rental and home prices in the city.

Page, Director Of Field Operations at Adidas group, feels that the crime was an act against Portland's housing market.

He said to KATU News: 'So much industry has come in here and, I'm sure, pushed some locals out. That can be rough ... you see housing prices double, or triple in the past five to ten years.

Paige said: 'So much industry has come in here and, I'm sure, pushed some locals out. That can be rough ... you see housing prices double, or triple in the past five to ten years. I don't think it's directed at Californians, just noticeably because a lot of them coming up here. But I'm sure it's all the transplants add in the frustration'

'I don't think it's directed at Californians, just noticeably because a lot of them coming up here. But I'm sure it's all the transplants add in the frustration.'

The couple have no idea who the perpetrators were, but they are working with police to identify who committed the crime.

However, Page did remember that when he was backing out of his driveway, another driver was speeding down the street.

After confronting the driver, the man drove off before telling Page to go back to California.

He suspects that this same individual may have been responsible for the vandalism overnight.

Page and Jessica recently renovated their home and as of two-weeks-ago had just painted the outside of their home.

While not feeling threatened by the graffiti, Paige said: 'At the end of the day, you can't get upset at every mad person int he world, that's why we pay for insurance and stuff like that.'

Page repainted the outside of the house and purchased two flood lights and surveillance cameras for his household by Sunday afternoon.

'Other than this little instance, the city is great, the community is great,' said Page.

'It's just unfortunate when you have people who are frustrated that this is how they express themselves.'
