SANTA CRUZ — The mayor calls them “weapons of moist destruction” — the vandals bent on soaking down Santa Cruz city offices. According to police, eight attacks have caused more than $250,000 in damage to city hall, private law offices, a state parks building and the pressroom of the local paper.

No one has stepped forward to claim responsibility or announce a motive. Police say they have no suspects. Local businesses are offering a $3,000 reward to bring the responsible party to justice.
