A Chicago woman was caught on camera smearing dog poop over a Donald Trump-themed Cybertruck.
Vehicle owner John Evans was attending a conference in a different state at the time, but came back to find his custom car covered in excrement.
The Cybertruck was parked up in the Northalsted area of the city when the incident took place.
The vehicle was wrapped with the American flag and featured the President's signature in gold on the back.

Mr Evans told Fox 32: "It's crazy that something like this upsets somebody so much that they decided, 'Oh, I'm going to ruin that person's day'."
The vehicle owner said he believes his Mr Trump-inspired design was the reason his almost $80,000 (£59,360) car was targeted.
He said: "On the tailgate in Gold Leaf, there is a representation of the signature of President Trump.
"And I think that may have further inflamed the mental illness of the person that decided to do this to my vehicle."

After capturing footage of the alleged perpetrator, Mr Evans posted the incident on social media, writing: "I was in Chicago today. This person thought it would be funny to wipe dog c*** all over my Cybertruck."
The owner offered "a generous reward" for identifying the woman seen in the footage.
Social media users allegedly identified the woman as Dorothy Owen, owner of a Chicago-based dog daycare service.
Ms Owens' business account on Instagram posted a picture of the poop-covered Cybertuck on Friday, with the caption reading: "Let’s be honest, that could be anyone’s sh**** tattoos and saggy t*ts.
"Also, #f**kmontana #f**ktrump #f**kice."

Mr Evans said the quick identification of the suspected vandal was because "America is happy to help other Americans with accountability for bad actors".
The vehicle owner said he would not be pursuing legal action despite the damage to his customised car.
In response to being asked about what his message to the perpetrator would be, Mr Evans said: "I would say, we are Americans, you have an obligation to do better.
"When you do something like this, you're making the problem worse."
