Gator Loose?

Trying to capture the alligator on the cheap and look what happens:

• Chicago animal control officials have closed the eastern half of Humboldt Park and hired an expert from Florida as the search for an alligator in the park lagoon enters its second week.
  
  The closure, which includes streets near the park, was done on the advice of the expert, Frank Robb, and is aimed at making the area around the lagoon as quiet and free from distractions as possible, according to Chicago Animal Care and Control.
  
  “It is likely that residents who have been watching from the lagoon banks and paths in the park have been influencing the animal’s behavior," Kelley Gandurski, executive director of CACC, said in a statement. "We are taking these steps in an attempt to create an environment that lends to the animal’s safe capture so we can quickly reopen the entire park to activity.”

So Gator Bob is gone? And numerous rumors in the comment sections think the small predator may have moved on to quieter areas.
