From the old reports.. the bank was accessible down that hatch. It's next to a prominent bus route and you would easily be seen going in. Not my scene at all.
We don't have an forms of alligators in the UK.., just snakes every now and again. I have yet to see even one in my lifetime.

People that go to Florida used to bring them back for gifts! They sold them in little souvenir shops. They still find them in storm drains now and then but, they are usually less than three feet...
It is that urban legend that scared the bejesus out of people! :) Ugh! Snakes!
Live Alligators?
Absolutely! They used to sell them in the little souvenir shops. People with bring them back because at the time not everybody went on vacation like they do now and it was a novelty. Soon it became illegal oh, but they did it for quite a long time. I actually think they did it since like the 1930s and I think is late as the sixties. I'm not sure about that I would probably have to ask. I can remember the stories of my family of my great Uncle doing it and having to put it in his bathtub.
Somewhere, somebody is selling them and really because they still show up in the storm drain on occasion oh, probably about three a year in New York alone
