 Jeffrey Daday has admitted stealing $89,000 from meters he was being paid to empty over a five year period 
 
 A parking attendant had admitted stealing $89,000 by pocketing an estimated 356,000 quarters from meters he was being paid to empty over a five year period. 
 
 Jeffrey Daday, 35, from Brewster in New York state, was tasked with collecting the proceeds of meters in the village of Mount Kisco and delivering them to the local council office. 
 
 But a police surveillance team were stunned to see the burly parking attendant emptying meters before heading straight to a bank to deposit the coins in his account. 
 
 Daday pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree grand larceny and first-degree offering a false instrument for filing in Westchester County Court in White Plains, N.Y.. 
 
 He faces a potential jail term of 15 years. There is no minimum sentence for the crime for first time offenders in New York state. 
 
 Police were called to investigate after council officials realised tens thousands of dollars had gone missing over the five-year period. 
 
 Officers swooped as Daday left the bank and arrested him on suspicion of depositing the coins into his own personal bank account. 
 
 District Attorney Janet DiFiore said Daday's crime spree began on January 5, 2009 and continued until his arrest in May this year.

 What would you do with 356,000 quarters? 
 
 Authorities say a Mount Kisco parking enforcement officer put them in his bank account after removing them from village parking meters as part of his job. 
 
 Jeffrey Daday, 36, of Sun Valley Drive, North Salem, admitted Tuesday to stealing more than $89,000 from the village from Jan. 5, 2009 through May 6, 2014. 
 
 That's enough to pay for about 5.3 million minutes or a little more than 8 months worth of parking in the village. 
 
 Daday pleaded guilty in Westchester County Court in White Plains to felony counts of second-degree grand larceny and first-degree offering a false instrument for filing, the Westchester County District Attorney's Office said. 
 
 Daday, who no longer works for Mount Kisco, faces up to 15 years in prison at his scheduled Dec. 23 sentencing. 
 
 Authorities said he would empty parking meters and skim off some the proceeds, depositing them into his account at the People's United Savings Bank on Moger Avenue in Mount Kisco. 
 
 Mount Kisco police were alerted to the theft and, with help from the D. A.'s Office, conducted surveillance on Daday. Police confronted him as he was leaving the bank after making a deposit and arrested him. 
 
 Daday isn't the first village parking official to line his pockets with village quarters. In 2005 Jason Berke, a former parking meter supervisor, pleaded guilty to stealing $30,000 worth of coins from meters, admitting that he took about $1,000 a week, stashing them in a camera bag he kept in his car and then cashing them in at Coinstar machines at supermarkets around Westchester. Berke was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to return the money. 
 
 Following those thefts, village officials changed collection procedures.

– Jeffrey Daday apparently liked to dip his hand into the cash register. Or more specifically, into parking meters. The New York man worked as a parking enforcement officer for five years in the village of Mount Kisco and stole $89,000 in coins over that time, police tell the Journal News. Count that out: That's 356,000 quarters, 890,000 dimes, or 1.78 million nickels—enough for eight months of parking. Police say Daday, 36, admitted to the theft, which was carried out between January 2009 and May 2014, after officers confronted him as he was leaving a bank. A police surveillance team began monitoring Daday after local council officials realized a good chunk of change had disappeared, the Daily Mail reports. Authorities say they spotted the enforcement officer heading directly to People's United Bank to make a deposit, rather than to the local council office, after emptying the meters. He has since pleaded guilty to grand larceny and offering a false instrument for filing and could see up to 15 years behind bars. (A New Jersey official stole $460,000 in quarters but only has to pay back half.)
