A paramedic fighting coronavirus on the frontline was left heartbroken when her handbag was stolen from the ambulance while working a gruelling 10-hour shift.
Hannah Wyndham was parked at Royal Berkshire Hospital, in Reading, Berkshire, where she believed her small black rucksack was stolen.
The young medic is now desperate to get the bag back which had her purse and other valuables inside.
Hannah - who works at South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust - said the incident happened on Tuesday night, but was sadly not captured on CCTV in the ambulance bay.
She said: "This is a very long shot but I had my handbag stolen from the ambulance last night while I was on shift.
"The most likely place was outside the Royal Berkshire Hospital, but I can't be 100 per cent sure.
"It had my purse and other valuables in it.
"If anyone finds a little black rucksack lying around anywhere or my purse please contact me."
Her colleague Stephanie Hudson added: "My lovely crew mate Hannah had her bag stolen last night from the front of our ambulance whilst we were working.
"It was taken at some point during our 10 hour night shift.
"Rubbish isn't it, she wasn't even angry about it, she was just heartbroken and upset, 2020 and 2021 is taking its toll.
"There are some absolutely heartless people around!
"Praying some of her belongings turn up."
Pals of Hannah, of Reading offered support.
Paul Davies added on Facebook : "Have they not got CCTV at hospital Hannah?"
She replied: "I've asked them to look, waiting to hear back."
But she then added: "Cameras don't cover the ambulance bay so they can't see anything."
Sara-Lou Ross fumed: "Scumbags that's so s**t."
Jessikah Purver added: "Disgusting that someone would steal out of an ambulance.
"I hope you get it back and they get caught."
Daisy Whitelock said: "What is wrong with people."
Gordon Bird added: "That is awful."
Thames Valley Police have been approached for comment.
