Guy Gets Too Close To Wild Fox While Snapchatting It, And Now He Wishes He Hadn’t
There’s a reason why people say “sly as a fox.” With a beautiful coat and a bushy tail, these animals look gorgeous on the outside but carry a lot of hidden intentions on the inside. And wouldn’t you know it, when this guy encountered one of them in the middle of the street, he decided to snapchat the rare occasion. The animal, however, had a trick up its fur that caught the dude completely off-guard.
Scroll down to check out the footage that has amassed over 52,000 upvotes on reddit and learn why you can’t trust a fox!

People were quick to react to the unbelievable event
Trying to pat a wild animal is quite dumb to begin with. And losing a wallet is the least of possible issues, it could've bitten and infected him with rabies or whatnot. Foxes are in the highest risk group in regards to that iirc. Do not follow this guy's example.
OK..In case some of you did not want to "see the video" for the dramatic conclusion (What is with that?)...The fox grabs the guy's wallet and runs away. It turns out the fox is part of an international identity theft ring. The fox is now living in a villa in Tuscany, while the guy is in a zoo in Birmingham, trying to convince the keepers he is a human being.
I love foxes, but you have to be an idiot to try to pet one that you just met on the street. Rabies, anyone?
This fox is now named " The Artful Dodger " .....Fagin would be proud !!
Omg I'm reading Oliver Twist right now! Just in time to get that reference

Never walk up to a normally wild creature. You both might pay the price for it
My first instinct would be that the fox had rabies, being willing to be around someone in broad daylight like that.
Just think for one second, that these animals have been here for hundreds upon hundreds of years, being driven from their homes because of people, and then when they have nowhere else to go but neighborhoods and cities, they're set upon and bothered by humans....again. Just leave them alone. It's not funny or cute.
Human beings have been here for as long as the animal life ....
