This isn't the first time a fox has stolen a man's wallet, and it probably won't be the last.

On Monday evening, Reddit user tootsaysthetrain shared a gif in Reddit's r/funny sub. The gif showed a sequence of Snapchats, ranging from when the uploader first spotted a fox down an alleyway to the hectic chase that took place after said fox abruptly snatched his wallet.

Behold:

Turns out there's a reason literature often depicts foxes as crafty and scheming.

On the plus side, the post clearly made a lot of people happy -- at the time of writing it's had almost 50,000 upvotes on Reddit.

The whole story had a nice ending, too. Here's an update the OP shared on Tuesday morning.
