Moral of the story — you’re taking a risk when you date a tow-truck driver:

An NYPD tow-truck operator, angry at his ex-girlfriend, hooked up a legally parked car on a Brooklyn street and secretly dumped it a mile away, sources said yesterday.

David Fletcher, 46, a civilian police employee, was caught Monday when the woman’s 15-year-old daughter spotted the vehicle hooked to the truck, the sources said.

Investigators later found that Fletcher allegedly hadn’t filed the paperwork indicating the vehicle was towed, leading cops to seek his arrest.

Fletcher surrendered and was charged with petit larceny, unauthorized use of a vehicle, criminal possession of stolen property and official misconduct, according to a spokesman for the Brooklyn district attorney.

He faces up to a year in jail if convicted.
