I guess this gives new meaning to the name "Hamburglar". When reached for comment, the perpetrator was quoted as saying "robble robble robble".

Tampa man arrested for buthering alligator---on front lawn

(CBS4) TAMPA A Tampa man arrested for butchering an alligator on his front lawn said he only wanted a new belt.

35-year old Benjamin Hodges told police he found the 4 to 5 foot long dead alligator floating in the Hillsborough River on Sunday and took it home in a shopping cart. He had just started to skin it when the police showed up and arrested him.

Hodges was charged with killing or possessing an alligator, both of which are illegal in Florida. It's a felony punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. He has been released on $2 thousand bond.

The American alligator is protected in Florida as a species of special concern, and hunting is tightly controlled. Only state-licensed trappers can kill alligators out of season.
