Staff at an Angus vets practice were left “angry” after their cars were broken into and items stolen.
The vehicles belonging to two employees at Wallace Vets in Carnoustie were targeted on Thursday.
Both of their vehicles had their windows smashed and cash, as well as an iPod, were among the items taken.
Management at the practice are now planning to install CCTV in a bid to deter future incidents.
Wallace Vets manager Graham Duff said: “We’ve had two cars broken into while parked in our car park, both belonged to staff members.
“One of them was a vet who was on duty at the time and another was a nursing assistant.
“The vet had unfortunately left one of her bags in the car.
“It had a purse in it and she discovered that £30 had been taken out.
“The purse was still there, and thankfully all her bank cards were left too.
“It looks like the nursing assistant’s car was broken into on the same night, but we can’t be sure.
“She left her car in the car park on Hogmanay as she was going away for a few days and only found out about the break in on Saturday.
“So her car has been sitting for a while with its window smashed.
“Both women were very angry that someone would do something like this.”
Mr Duff added that no one had expected such an incident to happen, as the area was normally quiet and considered safe.
He said: “We were a bit complacent.
“We’re going to get CCTV fitted and we’re going to be a lot more vigilant.
When contacted by The Courier, a police spokesman said they had no record of the incidents.
