90 Cars Get Tires Slashed in Soquel On Super Bowl Sunday

Update 1:18 p.m.: The count of vandalized cars is now up to 90, some with multiple tires slashed, meaning the total count of slashed tires from Sunday morning is well above 100 now.

Original Report: Many San Francisco 49ers fans in Soquel had their day start as badly as it ended on Sunday.

Forget losing the Super Bowl, as many as 80 people between Orchard Street and Victory lane in Soquel awoke to find their tires slashed.

Sheriff's Deputy April Skalland said the sheriff's office is estimating an average value of $200 per tire, putting the crime spree in the ball park of a $16,000 endeavor.

"I've seen multiple cars vandalized at once before, but this is a lot. This is not normal," Skalland said.

According ot the Register-Pajaronian, the rash of slashed tires coincided with another strange incident. At 6:30 a.m. Sunday, two men were seen on the side of Highway 1 near Orchard Street. "One of them heaved a large river rock straight through the windshield of a northbound vehicle traveling about 60 mph. The rock sailed through the white Chrysler and nearly crashed out the rear window," the Pajaronian reported.

Skalland said it's not clear if the two incidents are related, but a connection is being investigated.
