Man mugged by fox, forced to give up his dinnerS  Apparently,
the economy has gotten so bad that even the animals are turning
to crime. In England, a man was confronted by an unusually furry
mugger, one who was less interested in his wallet than in his
groceries.  Seb Baker, a 210-pound man living in Kent, had just
purchased groceries from Tesco when he was ambushed by a fox.
The critter apparently lept at him, then hungrily circled him
while nipping at his bag. Figuring that the best way to deal
with the sharp-toothed bandit was just to give him what he
wanted, Baker surrendered a loaf of garlic bread, which the fox
greedily accepted.  Such brazen animal crime is rare, but
wildlife expert John Bryant says that, should other critters
similarly rise up against the human species, a water gun is the
best way to fend them off.  No word on whether the fox sounded
like George Clooney.  15st man 'mugged by fox' [Telegraph via
