A man was caught on video stealing an alligator from a West Virginia pet store; the video clearly shows the man grabbing the 3 month old alligator and stuffing it in his shirt.
That's when they looked back on the video and recognized the suspect, who they say is a frequent customer and already owns an alligator.
He told the employee he came in for food and distracted her, looking around for some other things while a man in a green shirt did the dirty work.
"Doesn't seem like the safest thing to do," Williams said. "I'm just shocked. Every business has to deal with shoplifting, but I would just would not expect an alligator to be shoplifted."
Williams says even though it was a baby gator, he sure wouldn't put it under his shirt.
