11-foot alligator breaks into Florida home

CLEARWATER, Fla. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - Imagine walking into your kitchen in the middle of the night, perhaps looking for a snack... and almost becoming one!

The Clearwater Police Department responded to a home around 3:00 a.m. Friday morning on Eagles Landing in Clearwater after getting a call about an unusual burglar: an 11-foot alligator! The homeowner says the alligator even got into her wine stash!

"The 11-foot-long gator broke into the home through some low windows in the kitchen. The homeowner called police and a trapper also responded to the scene," Clearwater PD wrote on Facebook.

"Why did he pick my condo?" asked the homeowner during an interview Friday.

The gator was captured by a trapper and there were no injuries.
