"When my husband said there was a gator in the garage I thought he was kidding. When I open the door it was literally on the other side of the door," Heathcoat told WPTV. "Now I'm terrified that there will be one under my car. I don't know if it came from the lake, I don't know if it came from the reserve." Heathcoat called 911 and posted a photo of the scene to Facebook while waiting for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to respond. The FWC said the gator was safely relocated to a suitable habitat in North Fort Myers.
