Uber driver no mensch: vic

-

An Uber driver stole $ 5,000 worth of jewelry left behind in his car by an Orthodox Jewish man — who couldn’t report the theft for days because it took place just before sundown on Passover, cops said.

The victim forgot the jewelry bag in the Uber car on April 3 but waited until after the holy day on the morning of April 6 to report the incident, according to police.

By that time, driver Juan Morales, 51, had already sold the items — including a bracelet and pin worth $ 2,500 apiece — to a pawn shop, police sources said.

Morales was charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, cops said. Antonio Antenucci
