“Close the Gate-or Door”

A Mississippi man taking out the trash found an 8-foot alligator in the garage of his grandparents' home, hiding under the car. Police were called and were able to catch the gator and suspect that he may have been trying to steal the car.

The garage door had been left open, it was assumed, mainly because no one living in the house could remember giving the spare door opener to an alligator.

The nearest body of water was more than 3 miles away, leading authorities to believe the alligator had hitchhiked.

Authorities said that gator captures and relocations are not uncommon during mating season. In fact, lately they have been swamped.
