A Kissimmee resident posted a $5,000 reward for anyone who could catch the monster alive.

$5K doesn't sound like enough for a real monster.

It is 1953. Gold is $35 an ounce. So, this would be about 143 ounces of gold. 143 ounces of gold today is about 6.5 million dollars.

In the Government inflation index, $5000 then would be $61000 today.

It should be $250,000. The government fine is $200,000.
