Orlando - Vandals have spray-painted 60 city vehicles in Orlando, Florida, some with messages against Senator Barack Obama.

The cars were parked across from the city hall late on Saturday night. Investigators say the culprits tagged notes such as "Obama smokes crack" and a racial epithet. They even left business cards on each vehicle.

Mike Lowe, a videographer working for The Associated Press, first told police about the damage. He saw three cars with anti-Obama messages, while the others were just heavily painted.

The business cards disparage both Obama and Senator John McCain, but have messages of support for Senator Hillary Clinton.

Police also found that many of the vehicles had open petrol tanks.

Orlando police are investigating.
