It’s nice luggage, but he won’t need it for his trip to the Big House.
A thief in Tremont broke into a high-end sports car and attempted to make off with the expensive luggage inside, cops said.
Cops reportedly observed Eliud Melendez, 25, reaching into the smashed rear driver-side window of a black 2006 Porsche Cayenne parked at Lafontaine Avenue and East 180th Street at about 1:30 a.m. last Saturday.
Melendez reached inside and took a brown and tan Louis Vuitton suitcase, a green and white Lacoste duffel bag and a gold Coach bag, cops said.
But in seconds, he spotted the officers, dropped the bags and tried to flee, but was quickly apprehended, according to court papers.
Melendez, who was busted last September for using an illegal vehicle identification number, now faces charges of grand larceny, criminal mischief, possession of burglary tools and possession of stolen property, court records state.

A cashier at the South Bronx Target store created her own personal gift registry by allowing her baby daddy make off with unpaid-for merchandise, authorities said.
Crystal Scott, 27, was busted Monday for allegedly allowing the man to walk out with Pampers, bathing suits, blow dryers and tissues, along with handfuls of cash from the register, according to court documents.
Noticing that Scott’s register money count was repeatedly coming up short, a store manager checked surveillance video, court records state.
He confirmed the theft, and Scott confessed to pocketing $20 to $40 from the baby daddy before handing him more than $3,000 from the register, the records indicate.
In addition to the cash, Scott and her partner took more than $200 worth of goods, police said.
She was charged with two counts of grand larceny and one count of petit larceny. It was not immediately known if her accomplice was in custody.
