A hard-working paramedic was reduced to tears after she finished a 12-hour shift - and found her car had been daubed with graffiti.
Bronwen Newbury, 27, says she broke down "a little bit" after spotting pink paint across the side of her white Kia Ceed.
The NHS worker had parked in the staff car park of an ambulance station in Soundwell, Bristol and finished her shift at 7am on Sunday.
Bronwen's vehicle was not the only one targeted, with a colleague's car also vandalised, reports Bristol Live.
She has since had the graffiti removed, but spoke out to reveal the toll the incident had on her.

Bronwen said: "It says 'don’t call am 999'. I think they were going to write 'ambulance' and changed it to '999'.
"The girl next to me also had her car painted.
"It was in the staff car park, so they would have had a really good idea that we were working for the ambulance service.
"She had two or three big pink dots down one side.
"It made me feel pretty angry more than anything and disappointed.
"I’d just done 12 hours in work for my fourth shift in a row in like six shifts in six days.
"You feel like you’re making a difference and helping people and that’s what spurs you on through the long hours.
"Then you get back and that's how your help and your hard work pays off.
“I didn’t know whether I was upset about it or angry about it.
"I was trying to put a brave face on it because quite a few people were around.
"Initially I was quite upset and then when that subsided I was really angry about it.
“When I got in the car to drive home, I got a bit emotional.
"I phoned my partner to let him know what had happened and just got a bit teary."
Bronwen, from Caerphilly, South Wales, took to social media to share what had happened in the ambulance staff car park.
Her post received an outpouring of support indignation over the crime, garnering about 700 reactions and almost 400 comments.
Her car has since been cleaned by Matt Churchward from Spray Coating Specialists, who saw the post and wanted to fix it for her.
Bronwen's employers, South Western Ambulance Service, said the vandalism was "unacceptable" on Twitter.
Avon and Somerset Constabulary have been contacted for a comment.
