A Hartsdale woman (left) will serve no jail time for stealing more than $180,000 when she was treasurer of a Mount Vernon co-op apartment complex.
Mary Mancuso, 53, was sentenced today to serve five years’ probation for second-degree grand larceny. She pleaded guilty to the felony charge on Jan. 11.
Mancuso was accused of embezzling $181,657 from Vernon Woods Apartments Inc., 180 Pearsall Drive, according to the Westchester County District Attorney’s office.
As treasurer of the 353-unit apartment complex, Mancuso used money from the co-op’s bank account for personal expenses, including $80,000 for landscaping at her private home on Topland Road.
After a new management company took over, a complaint led to an investigation beginning in June 2009 by investigators from the District Attorney’s Office and, ultimately, Mancuso’s arrest.
She has paid back the entire amount, which prosecutors said she stole between December 2007 and April 2008. If she had been convicted at a trial she could have been sentenced to a maximum of 15 years in state prison.

Would someone robbing a liquor store not have to serve jail time if he promises to repay what he stole? White-collar crime should be treated on the same terms as street crime.
Hello all, my name is Mary Mancuso a.k.a Mary Glass, since you know i stole a bunch of money and now i cannot go by my real name so i decided to take my Boyfriend/Husband/Cuckold’s last name.
As part of my probation give me a call @ 9172098208 and tell me how you really feel; i would surely apprciate it since i do feel like shit, not for getting caught, but for having to return all that money; you know it’s not the first time i did this and didn’t get any jail time, but hey who gives a shit i took advantage of the system, so please give me a ring and let me know how you feel while i sit back and laugh and plan how to do this again.
John, you can suck an assh*le, the law is the law and i’m sure i used someone’s stolen money to defend myself (i cant keep track, so much of it hidden around my house) and got away with it, rage at the system, not those that took advantage of it and get no jail time, so leave me be under my new name so i can restart my life as if nothing happened.
Thank god most of these idiot companies do not do background checks
