What he also found was a tiger.
The man told cops he thought he was hallucinating at first, but there really was a tiger in a cage in the garage.
Police removed the tiger to a secure location, it will be relocated to a wildlife refuge. They also named him 'Tyson' after the scene in the movie 'The Hangover' featuring boxer Mike Tyson and a stolen pet tiger.
There was no word on who the tiger belonged to. It's legal to own a tiger in Texas, but they are illegal in Houston.
