Later he moved to the lawn on the side of their home and within a couple of hours he was not to be seen. Charlotte is not a new Village. I wasn't too happy with TV's response because there are people who walk small dogs down our street. But the neighbor was ok with letting him sit there while they stayed inside their home. Two other neighbors in Charlotte have had alligators by their houses over the years. One was a block away under their truck and the other was a block away on their front stoop. I think being in Florida there is no getting away from them.

Reason TV wants to leave that alligator is if picked up, it’s dead within a few hours. They are not located. They lived here first, it’s their house.
“Your statement of being in Florida there is no getting away from them” sounds like you might be in the group of extermination. Guessing one should have read up on wildlife in Florida. Came from north, yet know gators, bears, bobcats, coyotes, along with snakes, are active and live in TV. Live across from a pond, so my cameras go off couple time a week walk by our house. Gators are very low on my list here, compared to bobcats, bears, and coyotes.
As far as walking dogs, just like where we lived up north, the bear, coyotes, fox are abundant probably more than in TV. One needs to be aware of surroundings
