BRUNSWICK, Ohio -- Vandalism hitting one Brunswick, Ohio, neighborhood has homeowners fired up according to WEWS-TV. The burning question: who's behind a string of hot sauce attacks?

A Brunswick Police incident report showed at least 11 homeowners were targeted recently on Waite Farm Lane and Blackburn Lane.

The vandal, or vandals, sprayed hot sauce all over garage doors, street signs, driveways and cars, even leaving behind several crude phallic symbols.

Nobody has been caught but Sandra Fowler would like to know who did it.

"Oh I was angry. I was furious," she said, "Especially the entire hour and a half I'm standing out there in 35 degree weather cleaning a garage door and losing work time."

If anyone is caught they could be charged with criminal mischief. It's a first degree misdemeanor that can carry up to a $1,000 fine and six months in jail.
