In one of the cases someone spray painted "Welcome to the Civil War."

According to police, it's been tough trying to track the taggers down. They've apparently spray-painted nearby surveillance cameras before committing the crimes.

"The few opportunities for video the taggers climbed above the cameras and spray-painted over the lenses. Police are currently looking for additional cameras that may have an angle," said Chris Zachariasse, Downtown Boulder Partnership Operations Manager.
